Finally. PLANS. Plans as small and grand as small and grand can be. Plans that absolutely make me the happiest bride-to-be! It took a while to get here, as you’ve known. A lot of options, opini...
Ok, my April issue unveiling may have been a little late. But the Canadian Living May issue just came out last week with my latest contribution: There is still time to head out to the newsstands to ...
Happy belated Easter! Nope, I didn’t let this Easter pass without a craft from me. But I have been so far behind, I didn’t tell you sooner! Or can I just say I am a year early? I made ...
Slap on the wrist. Make that two. I have two hands for typing afterall. Apparently, I’ve been blogging since the early 1980′s at the age of 2… Updates are to follow! I want to ...
Lately, I’ve been feeling that I’m not being heard. But I’ve been speechless, maybe that explains why. Time to speak up! Hello? I’m here! Maybe you can listen. I’d...
On Friday, as my co-workers and I spent our lunch hour wandering the aisles of a nearby Walmart, I spotted the February issue of Canadian Living Magazine already out on newsstands! I did my rounds of...
After Christmas with the folks in quiet suburban Michigan, I was so eager to loudly ring in the new year last weekend at the world-famous countdown in Times Square, now that O.T. has officially moved...
Here we are — me with mom, dad, and my older brother — posing inside the Compuware building before gorging on meat at Texas de Brazil in downtown Detroit. As you know, my parents are Mic...
Have you got a list started? If not, now is the time to start. In fact, now is my affirmation and resolution for 2012. No big lists for me this year. No other word best encapsulates energy, exigen...
Happy New Year! And a belated Merry Christmas! I hope your holidays have been filled love, cheer, and heaps of handcrafted effects, and that the coming year will continue to bless you with all of th...
Despite all the fancy packaging choices at stores, giving away your holiday home-baked goods in plastic containers isn’t necessarily such a tacky thing (given the right accessory!). With your f...
Lookie what came in the mail today! A package containing a Nikon Coolpix, an adorable T-shirt and matching patch. I have instructables.com to thank for the wonderful prize I was awarded for my entr...
So I thought (we all thought) my paper clip Christmas crafts were done with. But I realized I hadn’t crafted a single Christmas card for the blog this season. Gasp! Is Christmas ten days awa...
I haven’t been toParis. I could’ve been had I accepted my parents’ generous offer to have a family trip a decade ago, but I declined because I wanted to take summer courses on Late...
For a while I felt chalkboard crafts have grown tired, but I just couldn’t resist another! It’s been a while since my last (the 3-D chalkboard cake I made for Craft was back in July). W...
Push pins. Rubber bands. And now for my final installment of Christmas décor out of office supplies. A $4 box of 1,000 paper clips made up this avant-garde tree. I was most looking forward to crea...
I had enough rubber bands to spare from my one-pound bag to make these rubber band-wrapped Christmas trees as the third installment of my Christmas décor from office supplies. If you’ve missed ...
Now, now. We all know the 70′s have made a feverish comeback. Middle-parted long hair, wide jeans and trousers, and elevator wedges are rapidly ousting teased poufs, skinny pants, and flats. ...
So this is what my container of push pins got me. Crystal Christmas trees! Ok, not to rival Swarovski. However, an acceptable substitute for those on a dime. These plastic push pins really shine, ...
I’ve been busily crafting some chic (and unique!) Christmas décor out of office supplies. Yup. Office supplies. I went to Staples and splurged on a box of 1,000 paper clips for $4, a containe...
I’ve been working hard all weekend and just finished a handful of curious Christmas crafts! But before I forget, here is a recap of all the fun and festive ideas I shared on this blog last yea...
Whew, enough catch-up posts from me. Now on to some serious crafting around here, as it should be! I am in love with French macarons. Aren’t we all? They’re delicious. Divine! And so...
Bullies come in all shapes and sizes and ages and colors and from all walks of life. What many people overlook is that a bully is not often the rough and tough brute they are depicted to be. Sometime...
Three decades, two years, and a couple of weeks ago, I was born. A special occasion? Indeed, it was Halloween! Regrettably, Halloween is a scary time, as was my recent birthday. It was shamefully...
Ok, so a month later, finally a recap of my first TV appearance! I had the most wonderful experience at Canadian Living Magazine headquarters and Citytv Breakfast Television here in Toronto on Octobe...
I know I’ve been very quiet lately for a number of reasons, both amazing and not-so-amazing. I haven’t had the chance to share with you the wonderful experience I had being on Breakfast T...
Ahh, I can’t believe Halloween is a couple of short hours away. I haven’t been holding out on you, I promise! I had some more ideas I wanted to test out and make and share here this mon...
Good news!!! I will be making a TV appearance tomorrow on Citytv’s Breakfast Television here in Toronto. I’m excited! I’m so honored to be invited by the team at Canadian Living ...
The latest article I wrote for Craft is available today! I know, I know, another caulking project from me?! I couldn’t resist, especially because it was so easy to turn a regular fitted ball ...
Everyone, meet Gord! For the holiday, I’ve carved this Halloween skull lantern out of a butternut squash, with a chunk leftover for some scrumptious soup (my fave kind of all time, not just d...
