Smart Sweets

#FridayFinds is Smart Sweets. And my, oh my, are they good. I found them at Costco one day and haven't looked back, as they are always in my cart...even with me watching my sugar intake. With only 3g of sugar, they make for a nice treat. If you can, buy them at Costco as they are more ...

Hearty Bread

#ThirdDegreeThursday is a question day. Today's question is , "What type of bread do you like?" My favourite bread came from Sweden. It is a Hearty Bread recipe that I got from, my sister-niece, Shauna, while she lived over there. It has yogurt in it, sunflower seeds, gluten free oats,...

What are Oracle cards?

#WednesdayWins is about oracle cards."Gabriela Herstik defines oracle cards as a set of divinatory cards that are used for personal exploration and ritual. If that sounds a lot like tarot, that's because they are. But unlike tarot decks, which always have 78 cards, divided in...

This past Saturday, on Art & Soul Insider Creation Time, and this Wednesday coming up, I shared a very special medium. For my colour swatches on my page, I used the Arteza Metallic 24 pan set, Now this is a special medium, but it isn't the material I am referencing to. Say you don't have a metallic ...

What is Gold Leaf

Today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is about gold leaf. First off, the gold leaf I use isn't actual gold, though those who use gold leaf in cuisine, use real gold leaf. Gold leaf is a very, very thin leaflet of substance. It is so thinly layered that each sheet falls a part easily....

First of all, May the Forth Be With You!!! (haha)

Today's #ThirdDegreeThursday question is a spiritual one. Hopefully you won't be too shy to not answer. It's a funny thing as most people don't like talking about it. "What happens after we die?" As for me, I believe I am a spirit... a spiritual bei...

Needless to say, all went well...
