Around here...

This post is based on a challenge by Ali Edwards

Around here we are:

- loving the fall air (and all the fashion possibilities it provides)

- learning to navigate this tough time together as a family

- trying to be frugal

- hoping to be better parents and not argue in front of the princess

- shifting work and domestic duties
- realizing that comparison really is the thief of joy

- creating, learning and seeking (and playing with a very fun new camera)

 Around here, we are pretty good.

canvasgeddon part three and my new baby!

 I made this canvas for Sid's room as a reminder for the school year. Just a little prospective for her to help her navigate the tricky world of grade four girls. Some random paper from my stash, thickers and some vellum for the butterfly "underwings".

And finally, as many of you know I work in jewellery store and these days the price of gold (and to a lesser extent silver) has skyrocketed. I found a stash of nearly a pound of silver from old unfinished jewellery, mistakes and ugly old pieces. So I sent it down to the smelters, took the cash and bought a DSLR...finally! Without further ado, meet  my new baby, Ginger: 

Thanks for stopping by!

This layout was just for fun, pure fun. I played with all kinds of goodies: inks, masks, rub-ons, washi tape, twine, stickers, paper strips, my beautiful girl's photo...you name it. No journaling , no real intent. Just fun solitary scraping with a chick flick one night.
