Stay tuned peoples! I will soon be in the amazing city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I plan on showing you the city thru my eyes. Ok, yes there will be a lot of food, but I will be walking everywhere so, food, people, places, and things. I can hardly contain my self!

Pippi got one upped!

Right!? A squirrel in your lap or a deer in your bed?



Look, she only likes the yolks, just like me!

Step Right Up!!

Come one come all, the hawks are back! No, don't be silly, not the Blackhawks, these hawks.

There are some very talented people out there!!!

Most of these artists are breaking the law. I love that they are willing to do that to let people see their talent. Click here to see more.
My all time favorite is Banksy, he now has a book out, click on his name to be directed to see his book.

There's a Whole Wide World Out There!

I have mentioned before that I'm in a beading group called Beading with Friends that meets once a month at NanC Meinhardt's house. And please do click on her name to see all the amazing things she has created. I am truly fortunate to call her a friend.
But sit down people, because one of the women in the group is Lisa Binkley, world renown quilt artist!
It's was mentioned that she is "famous",  and that didn't surprise me since I see the work she does when we get together, it is exquisite! After chatting with her last week she gave me her website so I could see more of her work. HOLY COW!!!

I'm only showing you this one so you will go to her site and see them up close and personal! I spent most of yesterday inspecting each and every one! Can you find the one with the turtle crawling out of the sea?
She is one of the most genuine, sweet, down to earth people that you will ever meet. I think it comes across in her quilts, wouldn't you say?!
And then... and then! I see that her husband, Ed Binkley is an illustrator, Holy... Mole!

His attention to detail, wow, the way he draws the wrinkles on the faces make you want to try and pinch them.
What incredible artist these two are! Then both have work for sale at really low prices, imho, considering the amount of time that must go into each piece.
Now off with you, go see the beauty that's out there to behold!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

I'll try not to get too mushy, but I LOVE this boy!

I am so incredibly lucky to spend my life with this guy! He has the best disposition of anyone you will ever meet. He's smart, funny and so generous. He's adorable (as you can see), he make's me laugh more than anyone, ever! When I first met him I knew he was the one for me and he has proven to be so much more!
His birthday, and I get the present! Hope I will share many more birthdays with you baby! Kiss, kiss!

I Ache!

For spring!
It all started with this photo.

Which lead me to this website, don't you just love that name, "Cottage in The Woods"?!

I would so fix this up and live here!

Which lead me to gingerella,

I can think of one person this works for :-)

and all the pretty photo's she has to offer! Monthly, so I will be going back for more!

What can I say, I LOVE PINK!!!

So open the door and come on in, you could lose yourself for awhile!
