I am thankful for:

once-in-a-lifetime rink-quality ice under an amazing blue sky - perfect skating weather, conditions and company;
so many singing birds including the cute wee ones dancing around in the snow at the cottage, Canadian geese overhead and all the ones hanging out in the trees on my walks and runs;
no-one I know personally contracting COVID-19;
so many medical and health-care professionals working so much during these trying times;
physically distanced walks with friends;
video call technology (such as Zoom) and the fun catch-up video calls with friends;
Roland’s help setting up webcam technology and mounting brackets;
continuing to receive thoughtful cards, wishes and gifts to celebrate my recent retirement; and
so very much more.

What are you thankful for?

Remember, I love to hear about recent things for which you're thankful!

It's time for another Creative Treats Club

Thankful Thursday

a gentle reminder to take a moment to be thankful for recent things in your life

(and a chance to see how the Creative Treats community is supporting others)

I will deliver the March Treat Boxes to Interval House and Nelson House women's shelters this coming week.

I have been lagging in my efforts to send at least two cards each day: a thank you card as well as a 'thinking of you' card to my mom. You can see photos of the few I have sent recently on the Creative Treats Club Instagram feed.

I have had a bit of success with my new technology (many thanks to Roland), so I have a new video posted on Facebook, linked at the bottom of this email. As usual, any suggestions to improve them are welcome, so don't be shy about providing me some feedback.

If you know anyone who might be interested in a Thankful Thursday reminder and hearing about how our amazing Creative Treats community is treating and supporting others, please forward them this email. There is a link to sign-up for the newsletter below.

Upcoming Online Workshop Sessions

I am postponing all in-person workshops during this period of social distancing.

I am learning some new technology am in the midst of figuring out how to run Zoom meetings so you can join me online crafting sessions.

Join me and some other Creative Crafters online on the following date:

Monday 30 March - #MakeItMonday - time tbc

I still plan to have some 'Borrow a Box' kits set up - some with just the basics: instruction sheets, paper, ink and stamps- and some with basic tools such as paper trimmer/scorer, adhesive.

I will keep you posted in a separate email the online workshop time is set and the kits are ready.
