I was in Bellaland today to take a class with one of the bella's herself - Lindabella. She it truly an amazing artist.
Today's class was focused on Copic Markers - these are a great tool for card making!! They create absolutely beautiful images.
We did three cards today using bella's stamps. Gail, Carol and Carrie came. We all sat together to do the cards which was great as I had not seen Gail for quite some time.
Let's hear it for our newest copic fan - CARRIE!!! - she came to class excited to learn and very enthusiastic. She was new to copics and wanted to check them out - she is now part of the copic craze!!
If you want some more information on Copic Markers check out their website.
Here are the cards we did.
Thank you very much Lindabella!! The class was amazing.
So after I got home Fran, Colleen, Mom, Kaelyn and I decided to have a girls night and went to see Julie & Julia. It was great. It was kinda weird that Stanley Tucci played Meryl Streep's husband in the movie, it took me a few minutes to get use to, but it was absolute hilarious. The movie was extremely well done.
It was a great girls night out.

The Big Storm
Hi guys!
So we were very fourtunate yesterday that we didn't get hit with the worst weather. We got hard rain but that was about all. The worst of the rain came after we pulled into our driveway after I had got picked up. It was like some turned on a faucet and let it run. We had to wait in the van until it slowed down a bit.
Vaughan seemed to get the worst of it. Luckily I was able to go to my appointment at the gym - it was great as we started circut training! It was very hard but as I got into it it got better! The sky was awful when I started but an hour later there was the most beautiful sunset I have seen - it only sucks that I didn't have a camera on me! The colours were so vibrant with the yellows, reds and purples. It was a sunset that took a few minutes to enjoy. Absolutetly stunning.
After I got home I worked on some more house mouse images for my sisters doortags. Overall, it was a pretty great day but we were very lucky in our area

Bumble Bees
Went out to water the gardens this morning and noticed that we had some huge bumble bees drinking the necter and rubbing themselves in the pollen on our rose of sharon tree. So I ran into the house and got my camera. It was great fun trying to catch the bumble bee in flight. I got two really great shots.
Enjoy!!
I loved watching these guys - it was quite funny watching the bees flit to and from the flowers rolling around in the pollen and making funny bee noises.

Duck!
At the cottage I was sitting in the sun room and all of a sudden saw this duck start coming up from the water.
It was weird as the ducks don't usually come up to the cottage. Luckily I got my camera and got this really good shot.

Cottage Trip
Had a great time at the cottage spent all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I did some sun tanning and beading. I made my mom the necklace she wanted that was in silvers and burgandy. It turned out awesome.
I will upload the picture once I have pried the necklace away from my mom. LOL.
I saw the bluejay and got this really awesome photo as he was leaving a branch. I was pretty lucky to get this shot as he was extremely fast.

Poppa Joe's Birthday
Today was the birthday party for Poppa Joe's 80th. It was a grand affair. The party was held at my neighbour's home - Fran. Oh my gosh - there was so much food. Fran had put together meatballs, sausage on a stick and lamb on a stick.
Fran also had fresh veggies, bruschetta, rolls, fresh fruit, sushi, and shrimp.
Joe's wife brought her rice balls - which were very good. My mom brought her red pepper jelly tarts.
As my present for Poppa Joe - I made his birthday cake.
I made a cake cut with strawberries and covered in buttercream icing. On top of that i used fondant. I put on grapes done in two different colours. I also made drapes on the top part of the cake.
