I have been on the hunt for four locally in Langley BC for the last couple of weeks. I think I may have to go to science world in YVR or somewhere in Gastown or maybe Fort Langley 🇨🇦

Happy #KidLitArtPOSTCARD Day

This is exactly what I was thinking. Reminds me of Hitler Youth in Nazi Germany

I said to the track attendant it was “A dad shows up and all hell breaks loose on the track” and the attendant just said “pretty much”. I’m totally throwing dad’s under the bus and generalizing but I wish this was the first time. It’s not bumper cars 😅

Not sure if my neck or back could survive another race with another dad on the track. My neck and back have worse whiplash than when my stepmothers car was hit and run and I was in the back seat.

Took kids Go Karting. From today’s experience there are three very different adult drivers on the track. One are mom’s zooming on their own around the track avoiding kids, one is the adult no kids just there for fun and don’t care what’s going on with anyone else and are cool and then there’s dads 🫤

Thanks for the tip Charlene. I’d rather order from a local Toronto store than Amazon if I have to order online :)

Where do you buy it? Do you have to get it from Japan?

I found a Daniel Smith Phalo Green I really like as alternative too that’s really smooth and not nearly as much

I agree!! $$. Slowly running out of colours. Ones I use the most frequently I have been looking for alternatives. I haven’t found another white I like as much for my arthritic hands, but I have to and just go with Windsor big tube zinc white. I splurge on some Holbein white for singles when I can

What do you think Charlene? I got the sets for Christmas 2 years ago and have been exclusively using them for my gouache. Anytime I switch the consistency is hard to beat. It’s soo smooth

Immediately came to ask this lol

I was so close but still learning how easy it is to accidentally waste a swap when I still need every swap :)

I scrolled the page and when I loaded it and I swapped a letter and wasted my first swap and only needed one more swap to win ——gahhhh. Word puzzle problems 🫤

Or call. Have your voice heard however you feel. But it’s important your government represents how their constituents really feel and not based on what’s the best interest of central banks and market interests, imo. Maybe in your world view it does and that’s your right. I won’t agree but eh! canada

This is why I support @avilewis.ca for NDP who is already stating this and I believe would continue to state this in Parliament if he’s elected for NDP. Canadian’s need a strong left opposition right now in Canada to have other voices heard.

I wrote to my conservative MP who I would never vote for in my life today. Why? Because she has a duty to represent my values in parliament as her constituent. I hope Tamara Jansen rep from Cloverdale-Langley brings this up in Parliament and I hope more people speak out to their local MP’s. Email

Canadians need to start speaking up to @pmcarney.bsky.social & the liberal party. We can respect someone and like that he can speak well and like him more than the alternative but Millennials & younger don’t want this! We are a parliament & the liberals are a minority government. Say no to this war.

It let me do it again I guess 🤷‍♀️ Next one is in 3 hrs and 32 mins. I’m definitely hooked. Much harder than wordle and if you win they tell you the definitions of the words. I love this.

Raffi is really the gift that keeps on giving and just helping us beluga grads brains stay in tact

Children's Book Illustration showing a giraffe cabby driver learning out the window of his taxi, pointing at a pile of teetering suitcases that a frog bell hop is carrying. The bell hop looks stressed, carrying suitcases, with bags over one arm, and holding an umbrella over a snooty looking kitten. The kitten is wearing a green peacoat and holding a stuffed mouse in her arms. She has her nose up in the air.

March #kidlitartpostcard day was just begging for a frog illo, so i drew a rather stressed out bell “hop”. 🐸 😁 I hope your day is going better than his!
Open to PB and MG projects.
