Thanks to the internets AND the Canucks, Sarah Harris found me while searching for some Canucks blogs (I think). The thing is, she lives in the UK and loves the hockey! I’ve never met Sarah in person, but she’s sent me cool stuff from Jolly Old England – like this awesome Will and Kate totebag – and we’re buddies online. One day I will meet her in person – I’m sure of it – but today, I got to see her sketchbook in The Sketchbook Project. It’s a tour of hundreds? Thousands? So many art books created by people all over the world.
I made the most of my half hour visit – they have a tight schedule and have to close up at 7 pm. I didn’t leave until 7:20, actually, so they gave me a break/I kept holding up the show. Would you like to see the books I got to see? Here you go!

While we were sleeping in the warm pull-out bed, there was an Easter hunt for eggs down the street. I didn’t see the hunting, but Allison was VERY pleased with the loot she pulled in. The Easter Bunny was very, very good to her. Also, the Easter Bunny left a few things at my mom’s place for her, so JACKPOT! So many Chocolate! Eggs!
Allison is very cute and very clever. She had us all sharing our chocolates with her today. I guess she needs to save her own for later. See? Smart!

Sharon is a crafty buddy of mine – she loves to make jewelry with beads and make plastic canvas creations. In fact, I’m using a plastic canvas coaster she made right now.
Today is her birthday and I was invited to her party. We made her wear that purple crown and the purple and white boa/lei.
When asked why she really doesn’t seem to be 75 years old, she said, “I have lots of younger friends.” This is a good tip.
Other regular activities include:
1) Walking – rain or shine. She has a little poodle and she walks him twice a day. Sometimes I see her walking in the neighbourhood with little Dexter.
2) Working in her garden.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with all these Halloween graphics yet, but I sure do like them. They are covered in black cats and jack-o-lanterns with round eyes.
Today was a beautiful, warm day and I think it’s about time to turn off the heat. Huzzah! Spring has definitely sprung, well, for today anyway. It’s back to rain tomorrow. On second thought, maybe we shouldn’t turn off the heat just yet.
Today’s events included minimal chores, a haircut by a lady at the AbysMall who cut my hair as fast as Edward Scissorhands. Hair was flying everywhere! And she was finished in about 20 minutes. I liked it! It’s a good basic cut and she didn’t try to sell me anything – just cut and go. I appreciated that very much.
If I’m really honest, I just spent the day waiting for the new season of Mad Men to start. I couldn’t wait to get my first glimpse of Roger Sterling. It was an excellent season starter.
