Hi everyone. Thanks so much for entering my draw for a free pass to UStamp With Dawn and Friends!!! Get a Jump on Your Jingle! I've received 12 fabulous comments (one was disqualified because it came in twice), letting me know what your favourite Christmas traditions were. Wow sounds like you folks have some really great traditions and love Christmas time as much a I do. Everything from shopping on Black Friday (actually people watching) to going to the woods to chop down the Christmas tree. How wonderful!
So without further ado, I ran my 12 numbers through the random number picker and #9, Dale is my lucky winner!!!! Congratulations Dale Morin..................I'm so happy for you.

Halloween Luminary Treat Can
Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year! It can be SPOOKY or it can be just plain fun. That was the idea behind this cute Luminary Treat Can I designed...............it's so fun and the kids faces light up when they see it. The treat can can be used to collect goodies and after the event can light up the table or outside porch as a luminary. |
I designed this Luminary Treat Can for the UStamp With Dawn and Friends Early Summer Edition 2010. If you are interested in making this project and 30 other fabulous projects, you can still register to get these tutorials. All you have to do is check out Dawn's website at: http://ustampwithdawnandfriends.com/. The Early Summer Edition 2010 along with all of Dawn's other sessions are listed in her side bar. Just click on the Summer Edition link for the details. |
Although this photo is a little blurry you can see how the luminary lights up in the dark.............SPOOKY!!! |

Sparking Hills, Beauty in the Hills of Vernon
On my recent visit to my fabulous sister's place in Vernon BC, I was thrilled to accept her invitation for lunch at the Sparkling Hills Hotel and Spa. She had visited there recently and was so excited to share this gorgeous European styled spa that is nestled in the backdrop of Predator Ridge and the hills above Okanagan Lake. To begin with, the setting is just breathtaking.......especially the golf course at Predator Ridge. I'm sure my husband would be thrilled to golf there! The contrast between the greens and browns of the landscape just take your breath away. And, as you approach the gates to Sparkling Hills the first thing you notice are the crystals in the Hotel's signage. This place is aptly named, with it's "Pillars of Light" glass panels lining the driveway up to the spa.
Pillars of Glass line the driveway, each embedded with thousands of precisely cut Swarovski crystals. This picture just doesn't do them justice...........they are stunning!!! |
These beautiful panels of Swarovski crystals just dance in the sunlight.........it's really amazing.
The hotel/spa has such unusual architechture as you can see in the picture, but it show cases the views of the surrounding hills and valleys so well, that it would make it just a perfect "couple's getaway" place. I could imagine having a spa treatment while my husband golfed, doing nature walks together and sitting back and relaxing at sunset in this fabulous place. Dreaming...................ah! The $10 million dollars worth of Swarovski crystals make this place quite simply radiant beyond measure, and they are everywhere from the magnificent ceiling feature in the entrance, backdrop to the registration desk and even in the inlays in the washroom mirrors. Whereever they've used them they seem to optimize the synergy of light, water and the effects of the illumination. Like they say, "you have to see it to believe it".

A big thank you to my fabulous sister for my very yummy Tomato Tart with Tossed Greens Salad, and the opportunity to see this equally fabulous Hotel and Spa. What a great day..........one of many I shared with her on this trip!!!!
