Check in every day as there are links to 2 of my favourite blogs and these links change every day.

Congratulations to Michael & Chantelle!! I think we may have a similar annoucement soon, from Michael's old Prep buddy!

I've just had a quick visit to Cresendoh, I don't think I've visited before, lots of exploring to do over there when I get a bit of time.

That's a site I'm going to enjoy :-))

Reading about the quilt making really took me back to my own childhood... guess lots of Grandmothers used newspaper templates.

I bet your mom is pleased to know that you've followed her passion... to find your own, & to honor her.
