And as promised – my homework:

Terrified Beginner no longer! by Liz Saunders
I can no longer be considered a terrified beginner, a beginner, definitely, but not so terrified. However, I think every class is going to have its own challenges and therefore terrors. This week we finished, or mostly finished, our “ribbons” of the week before. This was an exercise in shading and shadows. Then it wasContinue reading “Terrified Beginner no longer! by Liz Saunders”
No Pictures Allowed! by Liz Saunders
Have you ever taken a picture in a grocery store so that you could remember something, possibly research it, or in my case call a friend and say “what the heck is this and how do you cook it?”? I’ve done it lots of times. I used to drive my friend Bruce buggy because IContinue reading “No Pictures Allowed! by Liz Saunders”
Terrified or not, I did it! by Liz Saunders
On Tuesday, March 19th I dragged myself through the door of LucSculpture and Studio to start my Drawing for the Terrified Beginner. And boy was I terrified; I actually cried with fear as I drove down Greenwood Avenue. In the classroom, I held so tightly onto my Starbucks tea, it’s a wonder I didn’t squishContinue reading “Terrified or not, I did it! by Liz Saunders”
Oust-A-Mouse Bait House Exemplifies Exceptional Customer Service by Liz Saunders
Back in the fall, our friends, Wendie and Hugh, came down to Toronto and we went to the Cottage Life Show. While we were wandering around, I saw a booth displaying various types of insulation and I stopped to chat. One of my questions was: is your insulation mouse proof? The response: Are you kidding? Nothing’sContinue reading “Oust-A-Mouse Bait House Exemplifies Exceptional Customer Service by Liz Saunders”
The Magic of Disney, Harry Potter and Jaden by Liz Saunders
It’s been a very tiring week. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing. Not so with a 9 year old in tow and theme parks to do. Theme parks every other day should be doable, right? And physically it wasn’t bad (okay, I lie, my feet were killing me at the end of each day). ThankContinue reading “The Magic of Disney, Harry Potter and Jaden by Liz Saunders”
Witchy Woman strikes again! by Liz Saunders
This week, I went to see my surgeon at Toronto East General Hospital for my 4 week check up on my restructured wrist. I didn’t really know what I expected; I had been told I would be in my splint for 3 months so figured this was just to make sure my hand was stillContinue reading “Witchy Woman strikes again! by Liz Saunders”
I’ve been instructed to be creative!
Where has the month gone? I can’t believe I actually managed to type a blog back on January 5th, what with my hand still being really sore from surgery but I guess being pissed off helped. Thanks to Witchy and some homeopathic remedies, I’m healing well and will be back into the blogging chair soon.Continue reading “I’ve been instructed to be creative!”
Pizza Pizza does NOT always honour its 20 minutes or free guarantee! by Liz Saunders
Last night husband dearest and I decided to order our usual pizza from the same store we’ve been picking up from for 7 years. Got there 20 minutes later to pick up and the pizza was wrong – as in it was not the pizza we had ordered. “Oh” said the clerk, “that’s head office’sContinue reading “Pizza Pizza does NOT always honour its 20 minutes or free guarantee! by Liz Saunders”
ACANAC…Don’t trust them and don’t sign up with them! by Liz Saunders
We moved to our condo a year and a half ago. At that time, I took the opportunity to switch from Rogers (who I had always hated dealing with) to Distributel DSL. Turned out that Distributel was no better (ISP-wise) but they were nicer to deal with. So in October, out of desperation to get myContinue reading “ACANAC…Don’t trust them and don’t sign up with them! by Liz Saunders”
