Have you ever made a block print?


Hi Everyone....I have created all sorts of things....including art stamps....but never ever made art prints using blocks...so the other day when I was out and about I picked up this kit to make my first ever block print....the only thing is I am stumped as to what I want to create...so I am hoping that it will come to me....wish me luck!!!

In the mean time...I share with you one of my favorite flowers....the Zinnia...I grow these in our vegetable garden for cut flowers....to the left is the single bloom and below I have a surface design I started.....

Happy Creating!!!!

Hugs

This past weekend was so much fun ....we had two days of feasts at my Parents place....so I decided on day one I would bring a peach pie and a small plate of French Macarons...and on day two I brought three more batches of French Macarons...and they lasted about 20 minutes and then they were all gone.....I made some Raspberry ones, Lemon curd Macarons, Dulce de Leche Macarons, Pistachio Macarons and Chocolate Macarons and they were a huge hit...so I will be coming up with all sorts of new flavors for every Holiday.....

I am still re-working the recipe...once it is mastered I will document it here on my blog!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone....

Today we celebrate Thanksgiving here in Canada....so we will be thinking about all of the things we are grateful for....and spending lots of time with family and friends to enjoy good times, great food and plenty of laughs....Lastnight when I was putting our son to bed....I said.....let's do something different tonight....with it being Thanksgiving weekend....lets think about all the things we are Grateful for....and he laid in bed and as I tucked him in...this is what he said....

"I am Thankful for my family, my Grandparents, My Daddy and Mommy, the sandbox Daddy built for me, our pool, the food we eat, our home that is nice and cozy, and for my friends....." and I asked if he had anything else...and he said ...."that's enough for tonight, tomorrow we will have more to be thankful for."

It was the cutest moment ever....I am so grateful for so many things in my life...one thing that is top of my list is being a Mom....I have never ever had my heart grow as much as when I became a Mom....and all those things your parents told you when you were growing up...."you will understand once you have children" they are all true....I am grateful for every moment I have on this earth to share love with my amazing family....and friends....and I will never ever take anything for granted...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!

Hugs
Diana
