So, here we are on another "new adventure"!

I will be sharing my loves with you, travel, cardmaking,( am a Stampin'Up demonstrator for 2 years now) oil painting, photography,reading, Hannah and Freeway, our 2 feline loves, the critters at our doorstep, the beautiful birds that come to the feeders, toads, marauding raccoons, "chippies" (hence the name of my Blog) gardening, cooking, pottery, antiques etc. what have I left out??

Today is like a fall day....bah humbug...I am a Leo...we love the sun...my precious sun aka summer is waning which also means my beautiful little "jewels" the picture attached will be leaving this coming month, it always makes me sad to see them go...knowing it will be another 8 months til I hear their chirping and whirling wings.
