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

Blog Around The World Blog Hop

Welcome to Oakville from JJ's blog in Montreal! With a click of your mouse you've traveled about 350 miles along the St. Lawrence River and the North Shore of Lake Ontario!

How has your journey been so far today? There are about 40 blogs on this adventure, I hope you're having fun and seeing a whole bunch of views outside windows and of scrap spaces.

This is the view outside my back window taken at sunrise. I am very fortunate to live on the shore of Lake Ontario in a small town just West of Toronto. Most mornings, the sun rises over the lake and in the late afternoon there is beautiful golden glow on the maple which has just lost it's glorious leaves:

(This photo was taken Friday morning. The leaves have, since then, all fallen)

As for my studio, it is a bit of a disaster at the moment. Oh, who am I kidding? It's always in some form of disaster or other. Right now, I'm busy sorting and organizing in preparation for crafting many projects in preparation for Christmas:

Now you're off to visit Cheri Andrews in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA. According to Mapquest, if you were to drive to visit Cheri it would take you about 8 hours to travel the 440 miles. You'd get to take in the sights of Niagara Falls (breathtaking), and head through Rochester and onto Syracuse where you then head south along I-81. Today it just takes the click of your mouse!

Enjoy the rest of your travels!

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!
