And in the continuing saga we have amassed more creative items, with even more to come. We have been pretty good at sticking to our Craft A Day schedule but today was a day off skiing for the girls and we filled it with a trip to the Canmore Dollar Store (where I found wicked rubber stamps for $1 - $2 each, not much of a stamper but these are very graphic looking, in a design sense, not an ex-rated sense...) and the AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL, OUR FAVORITE SHOP IN CANMORE, the VICTORY Thrift Store (where I found a 1969 Snoopy lunch box, a very kitschy vintage Hawaiian doll, fabric, a rummy set with awesome tiles, the coolest old book with tons of drawings, and an old case to alter). The girls also went up the road to the indoor water park. We had a wonderful dinner prepared by my hubby, steaks, pork tenderloin, AND shark, and then webcammed one set of grandparents. Tomorrow will be another crafting day...
On Friday, we finished the pendants we started on Thursday (they took several coats of Modge Podge and then spray laquer). We live in Western Canada, which has oil, ranches, and cowboys... it is kind of the Texas of Canada. The big summer draw is the Calgary Stampede. We live in Banff, which is pretty much not like the rest of the province, but since my nieces live in the East and they are visiting us in the West, I finally made use of a bamboo tile collage sheet I purchased way back from Piddix. She has the best quality sheets and awesome selection! Anyway this one had caught my eye because it is all cowboy/girl themed. My nieces are into horses, as most 5 and 8 year olds are, so they LOVED picking. And even Mom made one :)
