This is what Sarah and I were up to this morning. I cut about 100 squares out of scrap paper for a potential ATC series. Sarah was just happy to paint and cut & paste shapes for her own cards along with me. The kids are both back in school today. Do I hear a collective hallelujah?
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
