I love them!

HAPPY FRIDAY!! My Postcards arrived yesterday from VistaPrint...have you used them before?
The quality is really very good, I opted for the gloss finish on the front...and you can upload ANY image.
One year for our Mamas and Chicks Show I made it look like a postcard at the back so people could actually use it AS a postcard...I may order some more like that!
I have a link on the right if you're looking to order anything from there...
These postcards only cost me $12 for 250 plus shipping...and I know shipping can be pricey...but when you think of how much Postcards usually cost! It's a steal!

I have a busy day today...but sometime this weekend...I will be telling you all about the Square Foot Gardening seminar I went to last night.VERY INTERESTING!!! Do you yield 3 harvests from your garden a year?
Have any of you tried square foot gardening?

AND...I will be featured over at Earth Mama this weekend with a GIVEAWAY of some of my Once Upon a Time prints...when? I am not sure...but I will keep you informed!


Have a glorious weekend!
Spring is finally here in Canada!

Snowy Blackbird...oh so plump...

 sitting at the breakfast table with the girls working through their holiday school work...a little plump blackbird sat on a snowy chair top basking in the light of the Sun...

 quick...get the sketch book out.
I really have never drawn birds from life...but have noticed it makes a HUGE difference to my lines of the little creatures.

He was so still that his silhouette was pefect against the white of the snow.

I used watercolour crayons,Mr.R bought me a wonderful Faber-Castel set before we came over to the UK...sketch in pencil crayon and then finish with water...

I adore this little watercolour pad I have...Strathmore watercolour Postcards...paint your own postcards and send them to those special people in your Life...

Talking about special people...thanks to you all for your Holiday wishes and sweet comments...we're counting down the sleeps...and will be celebrating on Christmas Eve as this is a Scandinavian Tradition.

More about traditions this week...today we are celebrating Morfar's Birthday...back with pics tomorrrow.

Wintery HUGS...
