Halloween Countdown Originally uploaded by CovetedVixen This halloween countdown rested amidst my silver tea pots for the month and, now that the tags are all turned to black, I can hardly wait to put photos of this year’s antics on the backs of some for next year’s surprises and story telling. Will this calendar be put away now? Heck no! Now it is time to make up the tags for November! A day or two late but still going to be fantastic!
Halloween Dimensional gift Bag Originally uploaded by CovetedVixen A halloween center piece of haunted fun. A battery operated tea light set inside casts a glow on the flocked “haunted house” while train tracks disappear at the edges of the ground. Five Reasons I Love Halloween? The decor is only the beginning.
Jeanette Lynton wrote today on her blog about Do Overs and asked what YOU would choose if you had the option. I have always believed that the past makes you the whole of you today. I would not go back and NEVER live on that beaten up old farm in Saskatchewan. I would not go back and prevent the time in Acme, AB ( yes… as in Tiny Tunes). I would not go back and undo … sighs… even undo leaving Calgary though I really have to push myself to say that. Each person,...
Amazed and disappointed. How can someone be both at once? I often turn to the internet in a desire to find some NEW thought or perspective that will inspire me to create, do or organise things better. Do you know what I find?! I am a STUFF STASHER! I see images of beautifully organised scrapbooking CUPBOARDS, orderly wheeled trollies or compact desks neatly laid out and I blink in wonder. Could this SERIOUSLY be all they have in product and tools? No… For REAL!? The Scrap...
He’s 14 and for the FIRST time, that I can remember, I got to experience THAT stomach knot. The kind that feels like every organ is holding it’s breath and turning purple. The kind where it feels like they are all huddled together in your rib cage and you could land a Sesna in the empty spot they left behind. The kind where, while you pretend to look like you are listening to the people around you, your thoughts are really only on HIM. Three weeks at RCAC Leadership Camp down in...
I love to hear ” I have been doing that and was searching for someone else!” and this past weekend I was rewarded by hearing it a couple of times. Artist Trading Cards are something I got hooked on while down in Vancouver with my Mom and Brother. Having some time down there that allowed for small projects ( small in time and small in space!) kept my focus… yes. Small. 2.5″ x 3.5″ to be specific. These little projects also appealed to my ever recurring rule....
Number 1 – Be curious and word seeking! I love how to’s. Self help books and ” fix your life in 10 days” line my shelves. Manuals and idea books spill over every available surface. All of them, at best, 3/4 read. Number 2 – Love being inspired and searching for MORE ! This seems my life long mission. ADHD? maybe, but it keeps our world interesting which wards off the world’s greatest curse. BOREDOM. I like to think my 10 year old is identical to...

I mentioned yesterday the AWESOMENESS of SMASHing and the new product line by EK Success. Partially because it is cool and I love journals in any form, but MOSTLY because I have a sense of validation every time I see them. (Open Blog Entry to see the video!) Now I am inspired to put up pics of some of MY journals. *EG Either way, it will be wickedly fun to inspire others to SMASH this fall!
