Enchanted by the winter games!! and so very Proud of my wonderful country and Athletes

Hi Everyone....

These past few weeks have been magical to say the least....It is so wonderful that we hosted the 21st Winter Games here in Canada...but to also break some records for the most Gold Medals is like icing on the cake...

We watched our men's hockey team yesterday and were on the edge of our seats throughout a wonderful game....Then with our hearts racing we watched Sidney Crosby score the winning goal! There were screams and tears at every Olympic Party here in Canada...it was a very proud moment to say the least....you can see some awesome photos by heading here...

There were so many touching experiences throughout the games this year....and I hope you all learned a little more about Canada and I hope you all know that we always welcome you back...

This week's theme on MMM is "enchanted" and I couldn't think of anything better than a tribute to these Olympic Winter Games...so here is my piece....I have some special paintings in the works....that I will show you later...but here is a quick piece I worked on during the closing ceremonies....

Happy Monday!!!

Hugs

Hi Everyone....I know what the Olympics mean to me...and I always have to fight back the tears when one of our Athletes get their medal...it is such a proud moment and I think we also live vicariously through them.....I always watch the games and stay up late to catch glimpses of all the wonderful sports.....I am all about the winter games because I love winter and I love winter sports....I have been inspired to take up snowboarding now...so wish me luck!!!

I will not however...try the skeleton...too scary for me...going head first and all...

Congrats to Team Canada!!! you guys are doing awesome!!! This week I will work on some Olympic inspired art...so pop back!!!
