Keli-Ann is moving!!

I've actually only met Keli- Ann about 3 times in the last 2-3 years but she has played an important role in our family. She's an artist in Collingwood and she has helped my 2 eldest kids so much with their Art. She did a one to one lesson with my daughter that helped her towards acheiving an A* in her Art GCSE. She also helped my son to decide where he wanted to do his degree and let him spend a day drawing at her studio. So I was pretty shocked to hear that she's moving to Newfoundland where I think her family are based. Collingwood just won't be the same without her. When we first visited she was painting in a local cafe with the window bay as her studio. Then she moved over the road to the Fish Bowl still on Hurontario. Me and the family wish you all the best with your move and will miss you when we finally land and you're not painting in Collingwood. Here are some piccies of my daughters art influenced by Keli-Ann and here's Keli-Ann's website

CHC are stirring!!

It appears that CHC may be awakening from their winter hibernation as the first 2007 applicant has received a 90 day letter....hurray!!!!!
Looks like we're still on track to receive ours this summer...a year or two earlier than first predicted!! Still pulling together the documents but almost done now......the last few bits have to be done last minute anyway eg references/ police checks etc. Now waiting for the return flights to open for April 2010 so we can get that booked up and that will hopefully be the last trip before moving permanently!!
Its back to full workload again...now studying final MA course. My two fab pals in Ontario have now met each other and are getting on really well...soooo pleased! Can't wait to get over there for a few get togethers lol!!
Have soooo much to do this year that hopefuly the time will fly by and it will be 2010 before we know it!!!

February

So it's finally February and although there's little movement from CHC those who were asked for 90 day updates seem to have sent them off so there could well be some movement in the next few weeks or so!! Just waiting for the first 2007 applicant to receive their 90 day letter.
I've just received my Post Grad Certificate in Online and Distance Education.........now just hoping I can get the Diploma too!! I start the final course on Saturday which will run through till October and then it's finished. I'm already worrying about how I'll manage without having some form of studying as I'm so used to it. Hopefully there'll be enough to cope with sorting out the move to Canada and then settling in to living in Barrie.
