Teaser Tuesdays



Chilliwack Army Base, British Columbia 1963

      The boy was gone... vanished. I had slipped away while my mother was occupied with that thankless task familiar to any career military wife: unpacking the family's possessions and setting up yet another new household.

  1. I don't usually read biographies, but I have to admit that I'm curious about Michael J Fox life.

    Here is my Halloween edition of TT.

  2. I've been wondering about this book. Michael J. Fox comes across as a genuinely nice guy, and I've been wondering what his autobiography might reveal about his background.
    My Teaser today is from THE FUNERAL DRESS.

As some of you may know, I love taking photos. Photography is a hobby of mine, but I often add some of my work to my walls. Recently, I was contacted by Canvas Champ, a company dedicated to making your photos come to life on canvas prints.


Since I had recently moved, the first thing to do was to walk around the place and see where a piece of art needed to be placed. Then it was about finding the perfect photo in my collection to hang there. Next, I was onto the website to start building the print.
