My new year's resolution this year was to do at least one DIY project a month. I know it's March so I've missed two already (I'll try and catch up, I swear) but just in time for Easter - a Lettered Ribbon Door Hanging*.
On a difficulty scale of 1 to 5 (1 being easy as pie and 5 being hard as a Brazil nut.) The project is a 2. The hot glue gunning may be difficult for younger crafters and shouldn't be done unsupervised. (Ed. Note: Fabric glue worked much better than hot glue for the fabric I was using.)
In total, I spent approximately $15 CDN. With all my supplies coming from my local dollar store. The only thing that I had on hand for the craft was my handy glue gun.

Another Wedding Shoot
I recently booked another wedding shoot for this August! I'm very excited about this one as the couple is a friend of a friend. They didn't want anything over the top photography wise and I love being able to help out friends. It's also nice to know that what I do is appreciated and liked.
I'm also excited about the location. It's a university/college student bar that has been used for weddings before and I've heard great things about it. What's so neat about the location is the two floors, ample floor space and the great ambiance.
The grounds of the school are expansive and is surrounded by wooded areas meaning some great wide shots can be created. More romantic and seemingly secluded images can be created in the wooded areas.
Can't wait!

Canadian Museum of Nature - Looking forward to May 22, 2010
This post was started in November and I figured I should finally finish it.
My best friend and I decided on a whim to visit the Canadian Museum of Nature on the 18th of November. The Museum is currently in the last leg of a huge building wide renovation and has opened one wing on each floor for visitors during the renovation.
We only had an hour to burn and what we were able to see in that one hour definitely left us wanting more. The elevator was down for the day so admission was a donation amount of your choice.
There was a security guard following us around so I was really only able to snap the picture below.
The most awe inspiring room of the rooms we saw was the Talisman Energy Fossil Gallery. I got shivers when we first walked into this room.

What little bit we saw of the Museum left us both wanting more and we can't wait for the rest of the Museum to be completed. If what we saw was any indication, the Canadian Museum of Nature will soon be at the forefront of the top national museums in North America.
The Grand Reopening is scheduled for May 22, 2010.
