With all the talk about the Retiring or ‘Last Chance’ List I wanted to point out a few important details. Firstly, not everything on the list is going to be reduced. Secondly, any discounted prices will not come into effect until Tuesday April 4th. However, between now and then some retiring products are likely to go out of stock. It’s always a juggling act. Today I wanted to highlight five more items that are being retired. The one I’ll definitely miss the most is the multi-occasion Celebrating ... VIEW POST
Happiness Is Purple
Our lovely weather didn’t hold and last week the garden was smothered by a thick blanket of snow. However like other snowstorms we’ve had this winter, subsequent sunny days have helped to melt some of it. Still I have a feeling it will be a while yet before the flowers begin to emerge. As a result I’m forced to create spring in my craft studio again. So for this week’s simple Sunday project I pulled out the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP), along with my favourite purple ... VIEW POST
Happiness Reimagined
Have you ever bought craft supplies because you love them but then can’t think of ways to use them? I know I have. Many times. So over the years I’ve found a way to unclog that creative block. I ignore the products and play with other things that inspire me more. Then when I eventually go back to the original items I see them with fresh eyes and the ideas flood in. That’s what happened with the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, Blossoming Happiness Dies and coordinating Hues of Happiness ... VIEW POST
Happiness Is Being Storm Ready
It’s Christmas Eve Eve and happiness is knowing we’re ready for a coming storm. The extreme winter weather that’s currently gripping most of Canada and the US is expected to arrive here later today.

Having been left without power for 10 days then, we’re not taking any chances this time around. ... VIEW POST
Hues Of Purple Post-Its®
At this season’s craft fairs the notebooks and pads I’d created were really popular. People were buying them because they make great stocking fillers or secret Santa gifts. What’s more, apart from being useful they don’t add to the ‘stuff’ that becomes clutter. After all, once the notebook or pad is used up the cover can simply be recycled. So today I began making replacements to sell in the bazaar. Having found a pretty purple Post-It Notes® pad I reached for the gorgeous Hues of Happiness ... VIEW POST
No Hippo Today
In my blog post yesterday I pointed out that there are acorn and oak leaf dies in the Fond of Autumn Dies, and that these pair beautifully with the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set. Today I have another of these coordination surprises to show you. This time while making a birthday card using the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP) I thought the flowers looked familiar. So I went on a little hunt. Eventually I found dies that matched the flowers in an unexpected place, the Hippo Dies ... VIEW POST
