Toronto is home to a bustling blend of nationalities, making it one of the world's most ethnically diverse cosmopolitan centers, among the likes of cities such as Chicago and New York. It is this very magnificent multiplicity that elevates Toronto's rank in the world of arts, crafts, and design.

Anyone else ever tried to paint along with Mr. Ross?

Use Vintage Photos to Create Table Runner

CasaSugar inspires us with this great decorating idea from Oh So Beautiful Paper. Use vintage photos to create a table runner effect. Great ideas for dinner get-togethers and parties!

CasaSugar writes:

Depending on how dramatic you want to go (and how many pics you have), you may want to keep it on the table vs. piling the photos on the ground. For a bon voyage soiree you could use postcards from tropical locales, for a bridal shower old wedding pics, or for a game night it could even be crafted from playing cards (a little Alice in Wonderland, don't you think?).

My Paper Heart

When I found this roll of "For a Special Man" wrapping paper for 29 cents at the thrift store, I knew I wanted to make the most of it. I wrapped an offering of presents in it this weekend and saved several of the scrap pieces that had the whole "special man" wording on them. I mounted them on construction paper and secured them to grosgrain ribbon on the presents.

Do you save wrapping paper you've received for craft projects?

I think this fun monster tooth pillow from Ellen at The Long Thread may finally kick me out of my procrastination for making one for him. Get the pattern and tutorial over on her blog.
