Upcoming Bullet Journal Workshop!
I had all day to sit down and tap at my computer. How do writers do it?? Because here I am, at 3:44pm, and I am finally inspired! And with my kids home in the next 15 minutes, I will have to buckle down and stop Snap Chatting with my friend 😉 I have had…
Read MoreEnd of summer street party!
This was going to be the year we traveled to Italy. The four of us touring around and taking in the sights and the pizza! Our daydreams came to an abrupt end when the snow began to melt and we discovered our roof shingles swimming in spring puddles. So, we made this summer a staycation.…
Read MoreRifle Paper, Cocktails and Pretty Gifts
We haven’t had a good shipment of Rifle Paper for a while now. But now that I think about it, Rifle’s rich colours are what I look for when I am thinking late summer. I promise I am not actually considering fall 😉 I’ve had a few people looking for recipe boxes and recipe cards.…

Read MoreTo gift or not to gift?
Host and Hostess Gifts It is an unwritten rule with the friends I see regularly. No one feels obliged to bring anything when we get together. It’s enough to just collapse on the couch for some Netflix or sit around the kitchen table for a chat and some food. If one of us needs the…
Read MoreLetter Writing and Postcards
I like to write letters. But the fact is, it is hard to know what to say in a letter when when we’ve got daily updates (with pictures) on Facebook. I text back and forth with brother and my Aunt. And there is always the old-fashioned phone. It is National Letter and Card Writing Month.…
Read MoreWhat do you do???
So, my birthday was last week. And my friend’s birthday is this weekend. That means we get to meet for drinks and snacks halfway between our two birthdays. Fun. We both own stores and it’s pretty funny that we both showed up with little gifts taken from own shelves. In fact, it is pretty funny…

How much do you love these sweet little bunny cups from Meri Meri? If you have little ones collecting treats, you could easily use these cups to collect jelly beans and chocolate eggs. I remember going to party when I was a kid, and the Mom served fruit salad in…
