Well, I had a very interesting two months. Lots of school activities, small trips, we were all sick with one type or another of a flu or a cold. I haven't even realized it's been almost two months since my last update. Ooops. I am back now.

Today is a gorgeous day in Vancouver. Practically summer. I am sitting in the garden with my laptop and enjoying it with my kids. It is only last few days that the weather got better, it was pretty miserable last month. I've been stamping a lot. I finished working on my craft room and I love it. It is so easy to find everything (provided I put it back where it belongs). :-) It seems that two techniques took over - watercolouring and soot stamping. I love both so much, I've hardly done anything else. An old stamp set by SU!, Natural Beauty was a great one to play with. Some cards were cased, some not, I made so many I am not sure anymore... Wanna see? Here are the five I really, really like...
