This year as with every year we all make it out to my grandmother's house for Christmas day dinner, chestnuts, classic carols... I love looking through old picture albums, found my grandparents wedding pictures...just lovely.I always thought my grandpa looked like Buddy Ho...

Lately I have been writing notes to myself, you know notes that consist of shopping lists, future goals, New Year's resolutions and even some inpirational pictures. I am a writer so I have to constantly write things down. The problem is I have officially filled my planner and journal and have taken to writing on random things like take out menus and even the plain white envelope that my visa bill...

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Peace on earth.I've included some pictures of Christmas trees and decor for you all to enjoy...

I felt as though something was missing from my tree...yup the title gave it away, so off I went in search of some tree filler or as I like to call it garland. I found this 100 ft. one in silver at Walmart, bought it and didn't think twice that 100 ft. is a lot to unravel. One hour later in the midst of untangling my new garland I was about to give up, but I kept on and am truly happy with the results....

Since making my own DIY cork board frames for my room office nook I seem to have nothing but cork on the brain! So I guess it only seems fitting that I should post some of my favourite pictures of cork board frames that inspired my o...

Here is a sneak at just some of the presents I wrapped for Christmas about a week ago. Yes they match my decor blue, white and silver! I even made the snowflake gift tags. Almost here can't wait!Oh and guess who got a haircut? Yup Jenny, I think she looks so cute...

I know there will be plenty of holiday parties I will attend, and truly I love any excuse to dress up, so here are just some of my picks for this season.All images from A...

After recently visiting my old neighbourhood of East York near the Danforth where I did a sit down interview with a local in house stylist for Balisi, I decided that I would kill two birds with one stone and do a little Christmas shopping. I have not been in the Danforth area too recently as I now live farther away, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely new pop-up shop that features fairtrade...

Any of you who can actually paint will look at these pictures and know that I cannot :)  But there's something unstressful about painting patterns... if any of you have a habit of doodling while you're on the phone or waiting on hold, you can definitely paint on doll house furniture!  Here are pictures of some of my doll house table and chair doodlings... maybe it will inspire you to...

As many of you know I do some freelance writing on the side and I recently had the great opportunity to visit LIV and sit down and chat with owner Joanna Goodman. The article will be out next week or so on BlogTO but until then I just wanted to share some of the great images that I was privileged to ta...

Here is a picture of another wooden doll house stove.  Unlike the other wooden stoves I've done, this one has all painted on faucet handles, door pulls, and stove burners.  These particular ones were not meant to look "real", so I used pi...

Newspaper, cardboard, wax paper... all work well for protecting your work surface, but the thing I like best is cling wrap (saran wrap).  Our table has a heavy plastic cover on it, so the cling wrap sticks to it and stays nicely in place.  Just overlap several lengths of it, depending on how big of a project you're painting.  Clean up is easy too... just roll it off and the table is...

My etsy shop has some new items up...yes those are Valentine's day cupcake toppers...yes we haven't even had Christmas or New Year's yet... is it so wrong that I think ahead? The ones in the second picture you could really use for any occasion, birthdays, showers, dinner parties e...
