My father has owned a local camera supply and photo developing shop for the past twenty years. It is his passion and he spends a lot of time there. He had the opportunity to sell it a number of times over the years, but since my mom passed away, he doesn’t know what he would do without his shop.

He loves taking pictures and has always dreamed of owning a stock photo company someday. In fact, he probably still will some day. He is always looking for the latest products and technology to bring into the store. He has a lot of repeat customers that are like his own family.

When one customer came in and wanted to know if he could put photos onto canvas, dad did everything he could to find out about this technology. It is now a service that is offered in his store and has quickly become one of his most popular services. The final results are beautiful and I have many in my own home now.

I have just joined a group called addicted to scrapbooking. It is quite amusing, as my husband jokes that I am part of some cult. I can’t help it, though. I love to scrapbook and I think I am pretty good at it. So, you can imagine how happy I was to hear about the great deals on Canadian scrapbook supplies.

Scrapbooking is a very expensive hobby and so I am pumped when I find good deals. There wasn’t a lot available for scrapbooking supplies Canada, so when I find a good site, it is like Christmas. In fact, I think I will but my own Christmas presents here.

I think scrapbook supplies Canada online is a relatively new thing. I found some great websites with some great deals in the States, only to find out that they don’t ship to Canada. It broke my heart. Yes, that is how much I love to scrapbook. I would say, besides my husband and kids, it is my third true love!

Since I was a child, I have loved poetry.  I tried to experience it from many different perspectives (through song, written words, and even writing it myself) to get immersed in the art.

I thought I had experienced all aspects of poetry until I attended the funeral of my grandmother.  You see one of the eulogies that were read also had a couple of funeral poems in it.

I had never seen this side of poetry before.

After the funeral was over, I went over to talk to the gentleman who read the eulogy that contained poetry.  I asked him where he got the idea to use poetry at the funeral.  He said he found it in one of those "How to Write a Eulogy" books from the library.

I am going to have to look into this aspect of poetry, as I somehow missed it altogether.  And I thought I knew everything about poetry…
