    My Daughter’s Bedroom

    ByMary Crozier August 16, 2018August 16, 2018

    When we first remodeled Bella Terra, the original intention of this room was to be a computer/TV/hang out room for our then 2 children.  But God works in strange ways and I became pregnant with our 3rd child in the middle of our 3 year renovation.  Of course the doctor had told me that it…

    Paris Letters

    ByMary Crozier July 31, 2018July 31, 2018

    I find it intriguing the way some people creatively make a living.  Imagine having an unfulfilling job only to leave it (after careful planning) and going to Paris? That is exactly what Janice MacLeod did and as a result, she wrote her first book and memoir, Paris Letters. This is a book you continue to…

Art plays a major role in their lives, because Leslie Sandbulte is a very talented, renown artist. Here are a few of her paintings….

    Glass Etching

    ByMary Crozier May 9, 2018May 9, 2018

    Etching glass is a relatively easy thing to do.  I purchased several Korken glass bottles from Ikea (a bargain at $2.99 each).  We keep these in the refrigerator filled with water~~easy to bring to the dinner table.  I like these bottles because the circumference is appropriate for smaller hands. Personalizing the bottles with our family…
