My favourite 2014 set is Life is Beautiful. I adore those giant double layer butterflies. It uplifts me to use them on a project and they always bring a smile to the recipient as well. A truly special set! :)
Celebrating the Past, Present and Future: 2014
Today we are diving into the year 2014! It wasn't a human who made the giant step for mankind this year but a spacecraft that achieved the previously impossible task of landing on a moving comet with the help of the European Space Agency. Host Ellen Degeneres' impromptu selfie at the Oscar...
My favourite from 2013 (and this was hard!) Is Cutting Garden. The ranunculus are so pretty and I love how each component is individual so you can build your bouquets a la carte depending on the occasion and the amount of time you have.
Celebrating the Past, Present and Future: 2013
Today we are diving into the year 2013! Prince George is born to William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. During the hour after the birth was announced, 12% of all content read or watched around the world was related to the prince’ birth. The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” wa...
I love all flowers but my absolute favourite is lilacs. After a long Ontario winter, it feels like the whole world is born again when spring finally arrives. For me, lilacs are the expression of the entire season wrapped in one joyful, heady aroma.

I have a great family and always feel loved. But last Christmas was extra special. I've had MS most of my adult life which I manage, but I'll admit it was a real kick in the gut when I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I told my girls I didn't want any gifts, i just wanted time with them. Well they gave me both gifts of love and time. They took me out one day and we all got pedicures. Then we went to a lovely tea room and had afternoon tea in front of a beautifully decorated fireplace. We had a wonderful time and I if I didn't think I could love my girls more before that day, they proved me wrong yet again!
My lymphoma is currently in remission, I have a brand new, gorgeous granddaughter and I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas, no matter how you celebrate. :)

Wow, cute get well products. The tissue cover is adorable! I've been on the 'unwell' side of the equation for the past couple of years but I'm hoping things turn around this coming year and I can get back to doing a lot more of the papercrafting I love. Making 'feel better' kits looks like fun. :)

I apologize in advance for the length of this comment, but this story is very special to me.
My very favourite road trip memories took place during a road trip I took with my high school's Senior String Orchestra when I was fifteen. We traveled from our home town of Waterloo, Ontario to New York to compete in the Young Manhattan International Music Festival.
I have SO many amazing memories from that trip. Driving through the early morning mists in the beautiful Adirondacks. Feeling awestruck when I came face to face with the incredible sights and sounds of Manhattan first-hand.
Several friends and I saw 'A Chorus Line' during a free afternoon and on our walk back to the hotel we met Johnny Depp (this was back in his 21 Jump Street days)! We were beyond excited of course and he patiently signed autographs for our entire little group. None of us had note paper with us, so he ended up signing the fronts of our playbills from A Chorus Line!
We also competed of course. We had worked really hard and practiced together endlessly for nine whole months. We had a lot invested and were so excited and proud when our investment was rewarded with the Gold medal at our awards banquet.
But the most memorable and heart-rending part of this road trip was during and after the banquet. A few of us friends managed to sweet talk the elevator operator to take us up to the top floor of the building we were in and once up there, all of New York was spread out beneath us like a giant twinkling carpet. We felt like we were on 'Top of the World'. Maybe you've guessed already and if so, you'll have realized why this memory is so precious to me. It is extra special and so precious because this very special evening took place at the World Trade Center.
I will always treasure the memories of that trip - my very first to the United States. Every once in a while I catch sight of my violin, which is tucked away on a shelf in my craft room. When I do, I can't help but smile as I think back to that incredible, yet now quite bittersweet road trip back in May of 1988.

Betsy's new Noted dies are just terrific. So versatile! At first when I saw the dies that went along with the forget-me-nots, I was confused - they all said 'forget'?! Then I saw them used with the stamp set and aaaah, it all made sense! So clever and such touching sentiments!
