Canada Day

A few patriotic crafts and other decorating ideas for my fellow Canadians. I'm afraid these are few and far between for now, but I'm working on it, eh? :)

Canada Geese Ornament, can't get much more Canadian than that! Painted from the inside! Also available: Wills Creek Collection Canada Goose	Collectible: Sylvieý Canadian Doll - Precious Moments Co. Dolls 1541
The Maple Leaf craft punch is about halfway down the list. Great for paper, wrap, card stock, memory albums, making confetti...	:  :
