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

Calligraphy Junkie

6a00d8345620e769e201156f59cf7f970b-800wi
I have always been a calligraphy junkie. I have inks and nibs all over my studio. All packed neatly away.

I haven't thought of them in years. The last time I used them was to address all of my wedding envelopes. Fortunately we had a small wedding, only 50 guests, so the task was not overwhelming, but still it seemed to feed my need for handwriting for a while. It was at that time I got my first PC and discovered the land of FONTS!

I was going through my reader and on my daily blog journey, I stopped by Blah, Blah, Blang and discovered the most incredible idea:

Short Cut Caligraphy Course

Isnt' that BRILLIANT?

While you're on Blah, Blah, Blang, hang out for a while. Check things out. She is wonderful and has links to some equally delicious sites and blogs. Definitely hit the link to the Brightside Project. You'll be glad you did!

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!
