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...

Hi Reader,Well, I wasn't planning on emailing today as I've been in hardcore creation mode preparing for a giveaway next month. If you've been with me for awhile, you might recall a collection I created for Faith Lee's bundle back in April, 2022 which was the "Lily Pad" paper pack. You might have even joined my newsletter to grab it. If you joined my list at a later date and aren't familiar with this collection, regularly $27, I've put it up for an incredible deal for a very short time. Click...

Hi Reader,If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope you're enjoying the start of summer! And just like that, the dial went to "roast" with temperatures of 45 degrees C. with the humidity over the last few days. 😅Luckily, things have finally returned to cooler days which is a relief!To celebrate the kick-off to the new season, here's a gift from me. It's free and comes with commercial use. No signup required. Perfect for the heady days of summer (and incoming long weekend vibes!) I've...

Hi Reader,I hope you're having a lovely Sunday! With my brain fog and being easily distracted, I tend to forget a LOT of things but today, this really took the cake.Today is Father's Day and I only realized at 3 pm after sitting in my office the whole morning doing work (well, trying to anyway.) 🤣 My husband has been puttering around, doing things around the house, watching the baseball game, while I'm working on my newsletter and my son is in his room, door shut, playing video games.Happy...

Hi Reader,So the countdown is on for BC Stack which is ending in a few hours.I'll be honest. The zillion posts about BC Stack in my inbox over the last week has been kinda wild. Do I really need more than one email within a couple hours from the same person telling me today is the last day? I've already got more than three emails from just one person today. Wow. 🤣 Multiply that by all the jockeying to add bonus upon bonus in the hopes of luring you into their web to make a sale? Well, it's...

Hi Reader,Thanks to everyone who wrote me and let me know they're actually receiving my email.I'm still stumped as to why my friend never got my email and I'm wondering how it got lost in the ether completely.I did notice a post in Liz Wilcox's group where her emails were going into her subscribers spam inboxes so I don't think it's just me that is having the issue - especially since Liz is the unofficial queen of email.The results of my poll were interesting too. 40% said they would happily...

Hi Reader,I wrote a pretty funny story on Sunday about a wedding I went to on the weekend. The thing is, one of my readers (now a dear friend) wrote me to ask me if I could add something to my newsletter. The thing was...I already had. She didn't get my email that day and she looked in all her folders.I have been having a lot of issues lately so if you ARE getting my emails, could you just hit reply and let me know you received it? Just make sure you erase all the contents in the email first...

Hi Reader,I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.Yesterday I attended a wedding for the first time in probably over 10 years...maybe more. (Fun fact: that couple has long since divorced.) So when I went to hunt for something to wear in my closet, I couldn't find anything that really felt right. It was either too old, too dusty, too small or too short.Plus, i'll be honest, I stopped shaving my legs and armpits back in 2020 and didn't really feel like de-trolling myself for one wedding -...

Hi Reader,How has your week been? The weather has been COLD, gray and rainy all week. However, the trees have finally sprouted their leaves leaving all this lush greenery outside my window - AND I just saw the cutest bird in the tree outside my office.It looked almost like a Disney cartoon bird so I ran like a crazy person downstairs to get my camera but by the time I got back to my office, the little cutie was gone. Usually I'm more prepared with my camera at the ready and during PBD (peak...
