Canada says thanks!

I love working and being busy. But man, did this weekend ever feel busy! I usually work holidays, and sometimes it's hard to get into whatever seasonal mood I'm meant to be in. But I really did enjoy the changing leaves this weekend and a very special Thanksgiving Brunch with my bestie. I'm thankful for her! And the delicious breakfast she made me, complete with hot chocolate in Christmas mugs ;) Here are some pictures we took together Friday morning. I plan on scrapbooking some later this week.

The super cheesy painting I made for her! Haha I do the silliest things to express my love.

What did you do to enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend?

Car Rides + Coffee Dates + Paintings

One of my favourite things about visiting Austin is our drives and our coffee dates. I don't know if you can really count it as a date every single time we grab a coffee together... but we do!

It's probably some sort of crime, but I've been to Starbucks twice since Fall has begun and I've yet to order a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Maybe I just haven't really been in the mood yet! I'm sure the craving will strike soon, as I will be getting into more of a Fall atmosphere later this week with my Pumpkin Painting. Stay tuned ;)

Anyways, it's time for me to change into some messy-clothes and finish up my painting! So excited to share.

Traveling

A peek at what my travels to Barrie look like... isn't my luggage tag adorable?!

Weekend Getaway

Hello all!

This weekend I'm leaving for a quick stay with Austin. I wasn't sure whether or not I would be going because of my flu, but I'm feeling much better. Plus I have a huge craving for the homemade pizza we make. So going is a must.

Most of my friends know that I'm awful at packing. I leave it too late and then rush and stress and try my best not to forget things. Packing for me takes hours. It's just a Rachel-Thing.

Sick Days

This is Day One of my sick days... little did I know I was in for a few more before the week was up! Here is a peek into some of my favourite things about relaxing. Warm knitted socks, cereal in bed, and online window shopping. <3

P.S Isn't black and white pretty?

Early Fall

Just a little sample of some of the things I've been up to with Austin this Fall! P.S We ♥ Kawartha Dairy

No road-trip is complete without a box of Timbits.

Sask(atoon)

Back in July I took a 2 week visit out to Saskatoon to visit my dad. I got to spend lots of time with him, see his new house, and meet his adorable new puppy Mac who I naturally fell in love with (well have you seen him?!) We also spent a weekend in Jasper climbing mountains (ha). Here are a few pictures from my adventures out West:

I'm pretty sure the grand total of time we dined out got up to 13. You only live once right?

Mac was absolutely hilarious. Either he was passed out on his bed in the back of the truck, or he was trying to find a way to sneak into the front seat.

Fun fact: Mac's full name is Greggor McPherson Struts the Third Esquire

First glimpse of the mountains... :)

After lots of sight-seeing and restaurants (yuuuuum), our next adventure was the Jasper Tramway. It was pretty amazing to be on top of a mountain, although it truly tested our physical fitness haha!

I love my dad!

Starting out

Those of you who know me, know I'm a creative person. I love starting different projects, creating things, taking photos, sharing fun ideas. However, I am so not dedicated to just one thing. I love variety. I change my mind on a regular basis. Soooo that's how the idea for this blog came about! I want a space to share everything from photo sessions I've done to crafts I'm working on to fun personal pictures from every day life.

I am hoping that this will help me stay motivated to keep using my creative energy to share new projects. I also hope it motivates me to take more pictures of daily life! I would really like to get back into the habit of taking pictures on a regular basis.
