Did you get a chance to see my June Buffet, Dear Old Dad? Once again, life took over and I didn’t get a chance to show it off here. So, if you missed the Buffet pricing you can still grab it at 30% off through the weekend. With Father’s Day just around the corner, what better time to show off how much you love the old guy!
Bookworm
One of my absolute favourite pastimes is reading. I’ll read just about anything, but I definitely have some genre that I’ll pick over others. I remember my parents gave me a copy of “Little Women” for my 12th birthday and that was it for me… I was entranced! That’s where I really made the leap from children’s books into actual novels. The classics are still my first choice, Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being my all-time favourite. I also can’t get enough of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. Sometimes I want a quick and easy read though, and then I love a good suspense or murder mystery type of book. (I’ll even read a cheesy historical romance once in a while!)
I work as a 911 fire dispatcher in my “real life” and so we have a lot of down time when there are no fires and such happening. That’s where I tend to do most of my reading these days, which is a pretty sweet deal when you think about it… getting paid to read! I recently bought myself a Kindle for the portability factor, and for the free books (I’m an Amazon Prime member.) I honestly thought I’d never do that since I feel that nothing compares to having an actual book in hand, but I’m getting used to it and I think I’m getting to the point now that I don’t really notice it anymore while I’m reading.
So, what are you reading these days?
A Country Christmas
There’s nothing like Christmas in the country. Pristine landscapes, beautiful lights reflecting on the snow, and animals peeking through the trees. Families gather to share their traditions amidst hand-made decorations taken directly from nature. Beautiful!
I’ll be celebrating my own traditions with my family over the next two days. Tonight I’ll actually have my whole family (children, parents, my brother and nephew) in one place at the same time! That’s a pretty rare occurrence these days, so I’m pretty excited about that.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and holiday season!

Christmas Morning
During the Christmas season there’s nothing I love more than sitting in my jammies, coffee in hand, and watching the excitement of Christmas morning on my children’s faces. For just that little while there’s nothing to do but enjoy one another’s company and share laughter and love. It’s what’s so magical about Christmas morning!

Have a great weekend!
Spooky, Scary, Creepy…. it’s All Hallows’ Eve!
Witches, werewolves, ghosts, and ghouls… they’re all out on Halloween! Prepare to be scared! All Hallows’ Eve combines vintage poison labels, watercolor-styled classic Halloween imagery, and a touch of golden sparkle. Boo!
My team made some fantastic pages with this kit! I’ll start you off with a cute one, and leave you with the scariest of them all!
Seriously… I can’t even look at that picture without shivering. Even now as I type this, I’m trying my darnedest not to see it! #shiver

Have a happy and safe Halloween!
