I am having a great week. Weather here in Vancouver is just gorgeous and I am really enjoying just being out there with my boys and not having to rush home and hide from rain.

Lately I've been reading the books by Steig Larsson and I've really enjoyed them. Just finished his second book, as a matter of fact. These are kind of books you can not put down once you've started. I can not wait for the third one to be published here. It is available in Europe, but we won't have it until sometime in May. If interested, you can pre-order it from Chapters. OK, onto the cards now.

Blog y'a later,

Today, SU announced big changes in our colour palette. Quite a few colours retiring, some old In-Colors being brought back, and some brand new colours. We will have 4 colour collections, each with 10 colours. In July, we get 5 new In-colors, and they will be active for 2 years. Next year, we get 5 new In-colors, and they will be around for two years as well. So, from 2011, we will have 10 In-colors and 40 core colours. Lookie:





At first, I was unsure if I liked this change, now I am tickled pink. I can hardly wait to get my hot little hands on these beautiful new colours.

Onto the other things. May class is Eastern Blooms. It will be on Sunday, May 16th, 2-5 PM, or Tuesday, May 18th, 6-9 PM. As usual, it is at my place - e-mail me for the details. The price is $25.



I just want to remind you of a class coming up on Saturday, April
24th, 2-5 PM at my place. The alternate time is Tuesday, April 27th,

Here is the project of the class again...



Don't forget that these classes are available as kits to go, or for free with $50 order (does not apply to club orders).

OK, gotta go now. Blog y'a later!
