Girl Talk

Last year I went to my most fabulous demo's garage sale {hi j!}. It was actually a multi-demo sale..I bought a bunch of retired SU stuff and this spectacular phone booth image...don't you love it? I can't believe someone would sell it...if I remember correctly the gal told me that her friend picked it up for her when she was traveling in Europe. It is by Stamps Unlimited. I actually had a couple other versions of this card already completed but I didn't think that the text that I had teamed it up with was perfect. Then I was looking through my MM magnetic sets {yes, I still have those...} and found "Girl Talk"...how perfect is that??!!!

This is the last of the Vancouver pictures that I'll share with you...I use to live there when I was in elementary school and as an adult, have made many a road trip up there. I can't seem to remember ever just walking around their Chinatown. This is the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Park...a tranquil place surrounded by high rises.

I highly recommend the slightly corny tour via The Big Bus which was our mode of transpo since we took the train up there. It is a great way to get around Vancouver and they run fairly frequently so you can hop on and off...

Water Lilies...something very peaceful about them...

TGIF!!!!

Janome

Guess what was waiting for me by my front door the other evening? Yuppers...my NEW Janome....I've sooo missed sewing on my cards! I'm hoping that I can talk one of the guys at work to see if they can fix my other Janome. If it can be salvaged, I'll have one for paper and the other for fabric...yes, I want to get into "real" sewing...thanks to the super fabulous Amy Butler...how can anyone resist??? I've also recently discovered Heather Bailey via Craftzine.

I love cupcake shops....Yes, I love to eat cupcakes but I really love cupcake shops because of their fun interior design! Way back when I was younger and starting off in community college, I took interior design classes...unfortunately, I wasn't focused enough on school/studying so I ended up with a non-transferable general business degree...what the heck?! That totally came back to haunt me when I decided to pursue my bachelors degree a couple years ago...I "had" to take the math and science that I was trying to avoid when I was younger and yes, I did graduate with an Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences degree with a concentration in Psychology...whew! Anyways....sorry for detour...This sweet Cupcakes shop is by Stanley Park in Vancouver. Isn't it absolutely a-dorable?? I **love** all the pink & brown teamed up with the oh-so-cute retro look!!!
