Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather a skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, throughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson
  • Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
  • The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. - Peter F. Drucker
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein
  • Be silly. Be honest. Be kind. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Assemby Complete

I am a bit of a perfectionist. If a project calls for a specific product, and there is no reasonable replacement available, I will find that specific product - no matter how long it might take. Though, as you know, with product offerings only available for a very short periods of time, the faster you move, the better to locate that perfect item!

I really enjoyed the Stories In Hand course offered by Jessica Sprague. I've used the prompts to kick-start my writing projects and I think they are getting better - they are certainly becoming plentiful (fitting right in with my Portfolio Project).

The problem? All of the pdf files were keyed off of using an American Crafts 6" album. Could I find one? No. On line and in stores it was becoming increasingly impossible to try to find the album I wanted. The one I needed. Lo and behold, not only was I able to spend time scrapping with two of my favourite friends at Scrapalicious, but I was able to locate the album!!

I finished it today. Ah, the joy of a project - COMPLETED.

Where I Buy Fun Supplies

  • A Cherry On Top
    I can't "toot" loud enough to let you know how fantastic this online resource is: tons of product, great prices, FAST shipping - a week quicker than any other US online retailer. Love them, love them, love them. If you have to pay duty and taxes I'd rather pay it quick than have to wait for the privilege!
  • Forever Scrapbooks
    Located a few kms away in Burlington. Great when I need something quick, I can usually find it here.
  • Pages In Time (Michigan)
    A bit of a hike, but well worth the trip if you happen to be in Michigan.
  • Pick of the Patch (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Fantastic monthly kit, look forward to opening it each month. It always includes something I can't find locally.
  • Scrapbooks By Design (Toronto)
    Fabulous place, but the website does take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to load.
  • The Crafty Scrapper (Texas)
    Oh my, a feast for the eyes, your fingers get itchy just walking in the front door, so much stuff to behold. Located in Waxahatchie, Texas it's a bit far, good thing they have a website and decent shipping!
