Bracelets oh how fun!

I love Hearts so I used this charm for this bracelet.

This Bracelet is fun and chunky!

More hearts!

Fun classic circles!

This is a special vintage style bracelet with a sparkly feel.

Like this versatile black memory wire bracelet!

Here are a few bracelets I have recently made that are on my etsy shop. This group have been made with elastic so that they fit most wrists. They are easy to put on and off as well. Hope you see something you like.

Spring Break

Well finally the sun was out after along two weeks of wintery weather that has kept us on our toes. Will it rain, snow, hail or a rainbow? It has made spring break a bit of a challenge in terms of finding fun things to do. Hwever we plugged through. Amara came up to visit us for five days and the girls had a blast. They went swimming, skating and we enjoyed many walks. We did our nails...so spring like and pretty. We chose colours like salmon, lilac, and spring green. It did take many coats to get them perfect!

This past Sunday, Dave and I got out to Dakota Ridge for a beautiful day of sunshine and snow. I had wanted to take the girls to Seymour but the weather turned warm and rain was out so we didn't hit the mountain.

Cooper had a ball playing in the snow, jumping and eating the snow. At the top of the trail we had a picnic with sandwiches and hot chocolate. The view of the mountains and the ocean was spectacular.

I did get alot of gardening done and I am very excited to get the veggie seeds planted this weekend. I even found some carrots growing in a pot on my deck. It was quite a surprise!

A rainbow of colours

Well like the strange weather we have been having this past month- rain, snow, hail, wind storms and even rainbows. I have had fun creating some rainbows with jewellry.


So please take a look and go to my etsy.com shop Lauriez Designz and Findz and pick a pair for yourself or a friend.

 A great way to add colour and fun in to your life!

Colour is every where! Disrespect is everywhere too!

It seems winter has gone by with with a few wind storms, threats of snow and snow for many areas, some westcoast rain then warm air and then cold air. However, today as I ponder the state of education and the state of humanity and the lack of respect that is given to teachers, children and many other workers, hard workers. I wonder what is happening to us. Why don't we care for one another? Why is it okay to treat others badly? Why do people under value education? These are only a few questions, I have of course. I guess as humans we don't value ourselves. Because as well all know what we do to others we do to ourselves or how we treat others is how we want to be treated.

So perhaps we have to stop and reflect on how we want to be treated and ask for that. That is what I am doing as a teacher when I protest these three days. I am asking for respect and fairness in negotiating a contract that works for everyone not just the government. As a parent, I am asking that my child's education be valued enough so that she is not in a large class, that her needs are met, that her teachers are supported to do their best because my child will reap those gifts they can give to her.

So as the blooms of spring begin and colours begin to inspire us to better days and to creativity. I ask for courage for myself and others to continue to be hopeful inspite of all the negative, greedy, disrespecting so and so's out there. We can make a positive change , each and everyone of us!

Every day I will try to do something for myself or another that is uplifting to one's spirit. Today I made a spring bouquet to cheer up my family. The colours are so stiking.

           I am excited about the hyacinth blooming and provinding sweet smells in the house.

I know, I must remember to keep perspecitve and enjoy the here and now. Remembering the little things and enjoying the little thing like how the frogs have started to talk their spring songs. How the cherry blossoming will be mesmerizing me and my front yard. How a home cooked meal made with love and healthy ingredients soothes the soul.
