Great Scott!
Another glorious (insert sarcasm) day in Vancouver. It is once again rainy and cloudy! Ugh – As I once heard from someone “Vancouver is the only place where gum boots are made fashionable”.

The aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti is absolutely heartbreaking; to see so many people without homes, running water or food.

Oh deer
I’ve said it here before…I’m a lover of magazines! Well anything really design-related (that is beautiful natch!)
