Tag time for Wednesday...

What's your current obsession?   She-art canvases...using SR themes...

What are you wearing today?  pj bottoms and a grey top - I'm relaxed and comfortable to create art in :)

What's for dinner?  We had fishcakes and fries...or pizza and fries...depending if you liked fish or pizza....there was salad or vegetables too.

What would you eat for your last meal?  I think I'd like to  go to a buffet of all my favourite foods :)  Try a bit of everything :)

What's the last thing you bought?  soup (Sam), Turkey sandwich (Abby) and bagel (me) for lunch at Tims today before we headed to the dog park with Rosie for a lovely long walk :)

What are you listening to right now  nothing but Rosie breathing and me typing...

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?  I'm quite happy here actually..I'm tired and will be happy t go sleep when I finish this tag :)  Tomorrow is going to be a busy and long day!!  :)  Fun though!!

Which language do you want to learn?  I would like to learn Spanish...although at the moment there is the possibility of me learning Italian from a certain tall dark and handsome stranger hahaha!

What do you love most about where you currently live?    The changing seasons, the cosiness, the views, the privacy, the silence, the stars, the space, not feeling claustrophobic, it just feels like home.

What is your favorite color?  turquoise.  

Chocolate or vanilla?  chocolate - although if it's ice cream I like really good vanilla bean ice cream :)

What were you doing 10 years ago  I'd just moved up to Scotland to be with Lloyd...the children came to stay for Easter and we went to Edinburgh zoo with them.  Susie ended up staying with us but the boys went back to finish school until the Summer. 

If you had $100 now, what would you spend it on?  A spare $100???  I'd go to DeSerres and buy canvases and maybe to Whyte Ave and pay for a place at Art on Whyte.  Or maybe I'd just be sensible and stick  it in my savings account.

What are you going to do after this?  go to sleep.

What are your favorite films?  I watched 'When A Man Loves a Woman' on Monday night, and I have to say that that is STILL one of my favourite movies of all time....and Andy Garcia is still gorgeous....which is kind of funny because Mr TDH looks a bit like him lol!!  :)  Which is kind of why I watched it ;)  I also like 'You've Got Mail'....'The Wizard of Oz'....and 'Going The Distance' :)  .....and 'Paul' is fantastic too :)  oh and 'Up' is also brilliant :)  

Do you collect anything?   I have a collection of Willow Tree Angels - several of which my wonderful friend Val has given me.  Many of them have special meaning!!  I recently started collecting swans - just certain ones I see that I love - glass ornament ones, crystal ones etc...I only have a few, but if I see them in thrift stores and like them, I will get them.  Swans almost always mate for life.  Thats come to represent something important to me - something I thought I had and something I hope to one day have.  I also have a collection of Kelly Rae Roberts artwork - prints and canvases, including one original piece!!  :)  

What makes you follow a blog?  If it inspires me and interests me.  If I learn something from it.  If it makes me laugh or has beautiful photography....

What was the most enjoyable thing you did today?  Going to the dog park with Sam and Abby, splashing in the puddles, watching Sam having so much fun in the water...watching Abby playing with Rosie on the hill.  

What is on the top of your to-do list?  Make the phone calls on the list I have!!

What's your favorite time of day and why?  Late evening.  I have plenty of energy and time to myself and almost always feel at my most inspired to create art :)

My Truth Teller knows :)


On Monday I met my wonderful friend JoAnne for coffee...and to complain about the fact that her Son had NOT sneaked me in his case when he had gone to Hawaii - or brought back any hot weather with him!!!  ;)  It was like Christmas when we saw her though as she had gifts for us all - a lovely frog holder for Abigail - the frog is full of beans and sits on a table and holds a pouch that hangs down to hold bits and pieces for you - Abigail uses it beside her bed to hold her DS :)  

Sam had two calendars which he LOVES - one has an ice cream theme and the other has animals and birds - wildlife of Canada and he has been crossing off the days and looking at all the pictures and getting us to read it all to him :)

JoAnne gave me this GORGEOUS wall plaque and hook that I had seen at the garden centre a few weeks ago.  It has a bird on it, and birds are my Truthteller symbol :)  I choose to listen to them and the truth I REALLY know about myself than the lies I have been fed by others and society and even by my weaker self over my lifetime....I'm also collecting hooks of all kinds to go in the mudroom - all unusual hooks - although I'm not sure I'm going to put this one in the mudroom because it's too beautiful - I think I might put it in either the main hallway or my craft room....

Thank you JoAnne - it was so thoughtful of you - and I especially love that you wrote on the back of it!! I will treasure it - and it came during such a difficult couple of weeks.
I treasure your friendship too!
