Yikes! I’m very sorry that I’m so behind in posting the club reveals and wanted to offer a little insight as to what’s been happening lately. At the end of June, we decided to flip things upside down and move things around in our home. It means that I have a better work space and…

May 2018 Club Reveal – Majestic
There are moments when you’re outdoors and everything just falls into place… the light, timing and subject are in the perfect spot at the perfect time and you capture something beautiful. That’s the case with this month’s inspiration photo of this beautiful Bighorn Sheep. We arrived at a campsite in the Kootneys, an hour or…
April 2018 Club Reveal – Blackbird
I can’t believe we’re at the start of May already. Time seems to be moving at warp speed and there are days when I simply don’t seem to be able to keep up. I love that club gives me an excuse every month to play! April Club was inspired by this photo. Eric has always…
March 2018 Club Reveal – Last Light
It’s hard to believe that it’s already April! Where has this first quarter gone? I’m a couple of days late but I’m so excited to share March Club with you. Inspiration for this month came from this photograph. It was taken by Eric on a backpack camping trip he did with our youngest daughter a…
February 2018 Club Reveal – Canyon Waters
I’ve loved going through some of our old photographs to find inspiration for club. This month’s inspiration came from a trip we did as a family a couple of summers ago.

October 2107 Club Reveal – Baba
This month’s colourway is inspired by a photograph I took a very, very long time ago (1996 to be exact!). It was taken shortly after I finished courses in photography and was the first image I chose to enter into a member’s exhibit for a local darkroom gallery show. (Yes, this was taken on black…
September Club Reveal – Crocosmia
In the reveal I did for August’s Club, I talked a little about my excitement at waiting to see what our garden held with each passing season. So when summer was finally in full bloom in our backyard that first year, I was delighted to discover we had a beautiful bunch of Crocosmia growing in…
July Fibre Club Reveal – Pesuta
Growing up, one of my favourite places to visit was the Queen Charlotte Islands or as it is now called, Haida Gwaii. My mom was born on the island and grew up there. It was place we would visit to see our extended family and to enjoy the quiet beauty of the landscape. As a…
Amour
Many years ago, I volunteered at Camp Goodtimes, which is a camp for kids who have a history of cancer and their families. There are no words to truly describe the magic that is camp. Â At camp, the kids are truly free to be kids, away from their worries about cancer, hospitals and treatments. They…
