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

Slice of Life: 3/6

Slice of Life 3/6

My home is sealed up tight from the first week of November through March. We exit and enter as quickly as possible so as to keep the cold out and the heat in. I anxiously await that first hint of spring so that I can open the windows and air things out.

That day arrived today.

At 16*C (about 60*F) it was such a welcome change.

It was like letting the house breathe. Bring in all the freshness of the lake air and the sweet songs of the birds. I sat in the living room on one of the chairs in the silence of the house and letting the sounds of breeze and birds come over me.

Our days of hibernation are not quite over: we have not celebrated Easter yet, so we haven't seen the last of the snow, but for a few hours the promise of Spring blessed our home. Bliss. Pure welcome joy.

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!
