I love nature....and my new camera!

My husband bought me a new camera for my birthday recently and I have been having fun testing it ever since! It is a Nikon Coolpix P90 camera.

I have been taking pictures of the birds in my yard....seeing how close I can get and how much closer I can get with the zoom. I am quite happy with the results!

Here are a couple of my photos:

Now I need to get creating some more and start taking pictures of my creations!

Its a rainy day today......

Today it is raining outside! I am happy though as we need a little moisture for the garden and plants. It is a good reason to blog since I can't be outside today. Who knows, maybe I will create a little this afternoon too!

Icraft.ca!

I opened a small shop on Icraft.ca just over a year ago. Icraft.ca is a Canadian-based website featuring lovely handmade items from all over the world!

I love that I can offer my items in Canadian funds which is great for my Canadian customers. And with our dollar being less than the U.S. dollar, it is also good for U.S. customers too!

I have been participating in a bootcamp program over on Icraft. Christine of PillowThrowDecor is running a program that is showing participating sellers valuable marketing tools. Thanks so much Christine for this valuable program!!

Please stop by and check out my shop Chicki on icraft! While you are there, why not browse all of the amazing items found there!
