...listening to some Canadian music while working tonight. I work so much better at night. My mind is mushier...less hesitation.
....a lot of pretending was done when I was little.
Cardboard boxes, oven mitts and a tea towel always came in handy.
.....enjoying my photographs, characters and a little type....love fall fairs.
...print and send to your valentine tomorrow!
As a family we have been watching every moment of the 2014 Sochi Olympics. We've been dancing in our family room with excitement for all Canadian athletes. The PVR has been overworked, the television on all day long and the joy it has brought my athletic children is incredible. They are so proud of our athletes that they take the
Olympic Canadian pride to their sports teams. Love that!
Because of that pride I spent my morning creating this Gabby tribute to our Canadian Athletes. So deserving.
