I'm in Philadelphia waiting for my flight home to Buffalo after such a fun weekend in Ottawa with all the gals at The Scrapbox! I'm going home with a heart full of gratitude for all the friendships, encouragement, hugs, smiles, great food adventures, and good times!! A big thank you to Jenn for all her thoughtful planning that made it a special weekend for everyone. Can't wait to do it again someday! (All your cute pictures are in the album on the side. :)
Here we are at the Montreal airport with the stack of suitcases that I travel with. (We drove to Montreal for me to fly home to save a couple hundred dollars... why does airfare to Canada cost more than airfare to Europe?! That's crazy!!)
I already posted these pictures on Facebook but not everyone checks there, so I'll post them here too. After class on Saturday we went downtown to get me my first poutine... french fries with cheese curds and gravy. I love cheese curd so I was pretty sure I would like poutine! It was good! I couldn't eat a ton of it but it was fun to try!! We had the sweetest, most patient waiter... I had to get a picture with him and his t-shirt. A cutie, that's for sure!
The girls couldn't believe I still wanted beaver tails after having poutine, but a girl needs dessert, right? They were up for it, so we headed to the market and the official Beavertails location to get the most yummy, warm, melt in your mouth piece of fried dough. Loved it! Thank you for indulging me... I hope it's true that the calories you eat in a foreign country don't count!
I'll be hitting the ground running at home to get ready in the next two days for two weeks in Paris and London! Yikes!!! So much to do!
I was so, so happy to get a call from Brandon on Saturday night. He's still in California but out of "the box." He said the first week was pretty cool but the second week was just hours and hours of sitting in a humvee. Pretty boring. So good to hear his voice though!
Saw some neat aprons in your classes in Ottawa!! Love the flat bread dessert or bread. How good is it to have a visit to Paris in April. Have a great time.

This weekend was a blast! I just love my projects! They were a huge hit with my 2 daughters who now want to make both albums. I am creating little monsters I think!
Safe travels to you...hope to see you real soon!
