Created using Perplexity! Hi Reader,Okay, who stuffed my inbox with ALL the goodies this week? A free year of Perplexity, my own sparkly Moon & Stars pack, some super cool Supermoon designs to celebrate tonight's Harvest moon… it feels like Oprah moved in. (‘You get a freebie! And you get a freebie!) 😂I was up late burning the midnight oil and found an amazing offer! If it's already dead, I apologize in advance. There's no mention of a cutoff date so I would be quick to scoop this one up as...

Hi Reader,Hope your transition into September has been a smooth one so far! Not sure about you, but September is the month which comes with the most mixed feelings for me. The excitement of a new season. Back to school. Back to work. New projects and adventures.But also, summer ending. Time with family drastically reduced. There's a pang of sadness. And in some cases, devastation if you're like my son who doesn't love the idea of heading back to school. 😆 Starting today, I’m officially...

Hi Reader,It's been awhile since I wrote you but I took an impromptu trip to Alberta to visit the outlaws. They decided to book us a last minute flight and didn't give us much notice so there wasn't much time to do anything except pack. I didn't even have time to sleep. I just passed out on the couch for a few hours here and there and kept working. Of course I tried to put together some automated emails because I had two bundles that closed which I wanted to follow up on. I had them all ready...

Hi Reader,Today was the first walk I've had down at the beach for quite some time. If you've been with me for awhile, you know sharing photos of my walks is my thing. I haven't been doing that as often as of late as my four-month bout with pneumonia earlier this year made it really hard to get back on the horse, as they say. It's a bit like exercise. Once you stop, it's really hard to start again. It felt really good to get out for that long. The weather was perfect. Not too hot or cold. Plus...

Hi Reader,Ever kicked yourself for not buying something and letting that magical item get away?As much as I regret a ton of things I've bought and never used, there are very few things I've begged off that I've given a second thought to. But there are a few I've walked away from that I deeply regret. Some of them I'm still haunted by.Case and point. Nantes, Frances. July, 2014. We were in town for three days to shoot a story on giant mechanical puppets for Discovery Channel. (If you ever have...

Hi Reader,I'm just popping in as I realized there are some really cool tools ending and I didn't want you to miss out on the opportunity to grab them while you still can.If you've been with me awhile, you know I'm kinda cheap - but I don't skimp on quality. So if there are two oven mitts that are similar and do exactly the same job - one for $20 and one for $4.99, I'm going with the cheaper option. However, I don't skimp on things where it counts. We're talking things like eyeglasses, good...

Hi Reader,I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday!I'm just popping in to remind you that today is the last day to sign up and download all the goodies from Faith's Grow Together Giveaway. Faith's bundle is one that's near and dear to my heart as it was one of the first I ever participated in and the response absolutely blew me away. My original contribution was this Water Lily paper pack which became an instant favorite. I connected some amazing people who I'm lucky enough to still be friends...

Hi Reader,Happy Monday!Can you believe we're already halfway through July? Not sure what the weather has been like in your neck of the woods, but it's been so hot most days, my walks have been nearly unbearable. Of course, it would make sense to get out there super early, but that's my go-to Fall move to see the "lazy sunrises" which come out quite late.Luckily, I've been staying cool indoors as I've been in mega creation mode for Faith Lee's bundle, the Grow Together Giveaway which kicks off...

Hi Reader,Happy Monday or can we call it...July eve? 😂We are gearing up for Canada Day tomorrow so hubby has the day off and there's so much to do on the last day of the month. Can you believe June came and went so quickly???I have been playing with Ike's sticker tool and have been blown away by the results. I shared a few of those below if you're curious and want to check it out! If you missed my last email, I'm working on creating a course on how I create the various styles seen in my paper...
