I have many journals that sit on the shelf at home. They chronicle many aspects of my life. I love to look through them, enjoying the things I have written or the pictures there in. It is my hope that as you look through these pages, that you too will enjoy the things placed so lovingly here.
It has been a journey that has seen me through many joys and a few heartaches. From the start of Crimson Chickadee and my growth as a person and as a photographer. From the realization that how many fans I have on my facebook page does not merit my worth, to the swelling in my heart as I hit publish to a post that I know will mean so much to the intended recipient.
I hope you join me often, with a good cup of coffee, and enjoy these pages as much as I do creating them.

Wainwright Trade Fair and the wainwright food bank

Saturday, April 3, 2010

Spring seems to be here! Yay! I am so excited for the warm weather. But with the warm weather it can be so easy to forget about those less fortunate than us. Every year around Christmas we all get in the giving spirit….this last year I decided to try and carry that throughout my year. I tried to think of ways that I could be helpful. I had stopped by Violin lessons with Logan and it was during a conversation I had with Pastor Dan Marchuk that he told me something interesting…and it sparked a seed. Did you know that for all the food hampers that go out during the holiday season that “hampers” actually are purchased? It makes sense…but it never crossed my mind. I told him that day that Crimson Chickadee would like to help with the purchase of those hampers.

Wanna help?

Here’s how…

Stop by our booth next weekend at the Wainwright Trade Fair and purchase a ticket ( $2…the cost of one hamper ) on our prize basket. The basket is full of goodies I know you will enjoy!

What could be better than getting the chance to win something AND helping those less fortunate than you in the process?

Hope to see you there! Visit the Chamber for more info HERE.

And since I hate to waste a post without an image…two of my favorites from the Savvy Sisters weekend!
