There's a Guest in the House.....

I would like to introduce you to Alicia,

altho I haven't met her myself yet in person!!

Alicia is an extraordinary woman - not only is

she an amazing photographer, she takes "crafting"

to a new level of artistry.

Let me explain how I know her without

having met her.  She is engaged to my nephew

and lives on the other side of the country from me!

I am confident we will meet soon and

I can't wait!!  (I may get in trouble for sharing

a photo of my photo-shy nephew....but aren't

they cute?)

Here's a really amazing art project from Alicia.

You may have seen these aroung blogland - this

is the first time I have seen this.

According to Alicia you just glue the crayons

across the top of the canvas and, using your heat

gun, just heat until you are satisfied.

Looks like fun with stunning results!! 

I will try to talk Alicia into

writing her own "guest" post - telling us step

by step what she did and maybe convince

her to share some of her amazing photography

at the same time.

What do you say Alicia?

Having a ghooooooulishly fun evening.....

Hope you are all enjoying a safe and

happy Halloween!  Mr. Biff and I have

really been digging an evening that is

"unpacking-free"!

Waiting on the Mail......

Well there's one thing I have learned for sure

 "snail-mail" is called that for a reason! 

 Sherry for Decorating with Cents finally rec'd

her necklace from my giveaway here

 (seems like eons ago!)

To add to the slow mail dilemma - I had packed

the original necklace and couldn't find it!

(Still don't know which box it is in).

Thankfully Sherry was happy to take

this one in it's place!

Thanks Sherry for sharing your win:

 I am linking up to Rebecca's Meet Me Monday #9

here.  Please join me for the fun of meeting each other

and discovering some new bloggy friends!

Looks Like We Made It......

Whahoo......we made it!  We are "officially"

moved into the new digs!

The movers came and went today with

seemingly little effort (maybe because Mr.

Biff and I have been hauling stuff back

and forth for 2 weeks already!)

Here's a great shot of three ferries going

between Vancouver Island and the mainland.

Mr. Biff took this on one of our lunch breaks!

Anyway - now the FUN begins!  I get

to refinish all my great old new pieces and

have some home decorating fun!

Mr. Biff pulled together this awesome

meal as a first supper....notice the classy

tea-towel placemats (can't find the real

ones!) and the classy soup pot salad

bowl......

Glad to be back and hope you will

follow along with us as we do up this

great rental home on a tiny budget keeping

in mind that everything has to

be made "to go".....

Blessings,
