About me

It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 whole years since I started my blog. This post is 1013. When I started writing my blog on the 31st back in 2008, I had no idea it would take me this far. This is the first and second post I wrote. So to celebrate, I’m having a…

My drapery went up today in the master bedroom and family room, can’t wait to show you! I’m off to Seattle for the weekend for some Fall shopping! I need something to wear when I lead my True Colour Expert Training happening at the VanDusen Gardens next week! We will stay at our favourite hotel in…

Remember when I told you that I won that competition for my up cycled Kate Spade Inspired End table? Well what I won was a night at the Delta Victoria Ocean Point Resort & Spa and that’s where I am right now. Because of your votes, I am sitting here tonight, drinking a little bubbly…

Can you believe I’ve been blogging for four years? I post an average of every second day and this is my 849th blog post! The second post I wrote was October 31, 2008 and this is what my nephew William looked like 4 years ago. Here he is this year at 5 years old. It…

source So I’m driving home on Saturday night, after the bloggers yearly gathering at the St. Regis Hotel. It’s 10:00 pm and I’m on the freeway with my car filled with carefully selected decorative pumpkins and little tiny orange and black pansies for a party I’m having on Sunday. We have guests staying at the…
