Not only is there a giant circle but it's cut in half! Half circles! What on earth do I do with half circles?! I remembered for a card a long time ago I had cut some sunflower dies in half. I realized I could do that again! So, off I went to make some sunflowers! I'm running a little low on my daffodil delight so I just used my white cardstock and blended it with brushes. The sunflower looked a little naked on the page so I decided to stencil some honeycombs onto the page using the Distress Oxides!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Sahara Sand (SU) Copper Foil (SU)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ink: Scattered Straw, Pumice Stone, Scorched Timber, Ground Espresso (All Distress Oxides)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Lovely Layers Sunflowers (Honey Bee Stamps), Sunflower Dies (SU), Mini Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Brown Foil, Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, Grain and Grunge Gem Stickers (Honey Bee Stamps), Honey Comb Stencil</div><div><br /></div>Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Here we are back at another Wednesday! How is that even possible! I hope you're having a good week! I had my steroid shot this morning and I'm praying for some significant relief in my pain! Some of you know but I have been diagnosed with moderate arthritis in my left thumb (I also have it in my right thumb) but I'm left handed so most tasks have become very difficult. I have been waiting for this shot for months so I'm excited that today is the day! Tonight is also a big ladies paint night at our church. It's my first event as Women's Ministry Coordinator so I'm a little nervous! We have 100 ladies coming to paint! I will be heading from my shot to the church for set up! As excited as I am, I'm looking forward to it all being over.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I have the privilege of being this week's hostess at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>!

I hope you're having a great week so far! We are just sort of exiting from the polar vortex that had trapped Alberta in a state of deep freeze for the last week. I have never been so glad to see temperatures that read -20C! The good thing is that the sun shines the entire time so I did get out for a walk one day despite it being bitterly cold. We now have some snow in the forecast which doesn't do a whole lot for me since snow removal in Alberta leaves a little to be desired!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've got a brand new sketch today at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>!

I can't believe how cold it's going to be. Not as cold as it has been in previous winters but we've had such mild temperatures up until now. I'm not looking forward to lows of -36C!!! That seems soooo cold! I don't think we'll be doing much hiking or skiing this weekend if it doesn't significantly warm up! We did get a hike in last weekend and I'll attach some pictures at the bottom of this post. What a brute. I totally was ready to give up halfway through. We managed to make it to the ridge and get to see some mountain sheep!

We had a very quite Christmas and start to the New Year. We didn't travel anywhere this year and so it was just the 4 of us and that was just perfect for me. I missed my family terribly and hope to get to visit them soon but Christmas is always so hectic to travel. We got some hikes in and some ski days! It was wonderful. I got to sleep in (sleeping in is 6 AM for me) and so that was lovely! I start a new job next week so I'm a little nervous! I haven't worked in 17 years so getting back into the throws of things will be different. Thankfully it's just part time and I get to do something that is out of my comfort zone so I'll be learning new things! I'm taking on the role of Women's Coordinator at our church! I'm excited and have lots of ideas bouncing around in my head so we'll see how this goes!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay we've got our first sketch of the new year ready for you at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>! Our hostess this week is <a href="http://www.narellefarrugia.net/" target="_blank">Narelle Farrugia</a>. Narelle's cards are always jaw dropping and her creativity always amazes me!

I cut some trees, coloured them with some Distress Inks and added my sentiment! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b><br />Cardstock: Gray Granite (SU), Hammermill White Coverstock</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Patterned Paper: Mountain Trek 2.0 (Paper Rose)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Distress Ink: Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Evergreens (Taylored Expressions), Mini Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Square Dies (Spellbinders), Black Foil (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you're having a great week so far. We received a surprise dumping of snow last week so it looks like we'll have a white Christmas. Trevor and I got out for our first ski of the season on the weekend. I am not a confident skier. I don't possess that athletic prowess that most seem to have. Skiing is very hard for me and so I really have to push myself to do it. We had a great day and I mostly stayed upright which was the goal. I'm sure the next time we go out I'll feel much more comfortable! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've got a brand new sketch at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>!

It looked a little sketch to me and I opted to keep my feet firmly planted. Trevor took a tumble on the way down and is still feeling the effects of it. It wasn't a bad fall or a far fall, it was more of an awkward fall! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Im44p8ezFFABoG7tMUtkZZibXtPuxav0RmM1NoHaOp6tG2qnrWsb5T0r2PZGWG5mxaQMEnpHoHGvpUchaN5iAnf99XBrFkv-Ei7WjS8HG3OtYUgSwPtg7Cez_LNRccZspFso5rjADmtFHt2d2PMEUS967Qp_f4Xvw85wLhmH1roW22TmmPyM7GaU/s4032/IMG_7649.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Im44p8ezFFABoG7tMUtkZZibXtPuxav0RmM1NoHaOp6tG2qnrWsb5T0r2PZGWG5mxaQMEnpHoHGvpUchaN5iAnf99XBrFkv-Ei7WjS8HG3OtYUgSwPtg7Cez_LNRccZspFso5rjADmtFHt2d2PMEUS967Qp_f4Xvw85wLhmH1roW22TmmPyM7GaU/s320/IMG_7649.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Morning light hitting the mountains</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguCewWbG4c8SeG92A0AUD72f7y1ghsN07IwtObU2GwEzT1bCWq0Vi_MWwwj7svv1jgTjmikr_kdHrA4FN4ugYapu9Y6yh7m2YGcbIYBC5wsP-w82MgpVXNZ_SAKUlOyw6kifjf2TAEyKfOMEj-KFQ0Hu3UzC8KRZrf_Mt35hyxRWLQeUlAJdZXSC_T/s4032/IMG_7685.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguCewWbG4c8SeG92A0AUD72f7y1ghsN07IwtObU2GwEzT1bCWq0Vi_MWwwj7svv1jgTjmikr_kdHrA4FN4ugYapu9Y6yh7m2YGcbIYBC5wsP-w82MgpVXNZ_SAKUlOyw6kifjf2TAEyKfOMEj-KFQ0Hu3UzC8KRZrf_Mt35hyxRWLQeUlAJdZXSC_T/s320/IMG_7685.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">View from the top</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2E3IPpXr66yKhvv2YVkRDTGTqqAdTrGOrru9pczo2VyAJLWT0doVAIwJecGFcCO0R6rOS5sjcyGqw_kCihKMVGn7gI5dseYoO8xFP0r-hizPPnhGRfD9DVFo0rhP54A6BexoyPpRC73S0MGCxrioMIXRStvt19nloy7w8lOiNYobdznuKTzGGXWjJ/s4032/IMG_7686.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2E3IPpXr66yKhvv2YVkRDTGTqqAdTrGOrru9pczo2VyAJLWT0doVAIwJecGFcCO0R6rOS5sjcyGqw_kCihKMVGn7gI5dseYoO8xFP0r-hizPPnhGRfD9DVFo0rhP54A6BexoyPpRC73S0MGCxrioMIXRStvt19nloy7w8lOiNYobdznuKTzGGXWjJ/s320/IMG_7686.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mount Reemus (the flat topped one)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT19yICGVD5pjc5O_TwTfEn1_oa5D2e52UfiyphCISB5n3nhwfLf_xKS6oPVPpDM69MnW4bw6md7OQqjr6H8KLv1Uu-HRqIRFYZM8H8-1wRNd2HPuo-xkGUHQyJliH1y0n7N1oX1lsmwVnNCrwvyq1HMssAxI8y2Tf0QYR24vVhhPC0LZcyVCdELPP/s4032/IMG_7697.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT19yICGVD5pjc5O_TwTfEn1_oa5D2e52UfiyphCISB5n3nhwfLf_xKS6oPVPpDM69MnW4bw6md7OQqjr6H8KLv1Uu-HRqIRFYZM8H8-1wRNd2HPuo-xkGUHQyJliH1y0n7N1oX1lsmwVnNCrwvyq1HMssAxI8y2Tf0QYR24vVhhPC0LZcyVCdELPP/s320/IMG_7697.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was so windy and cold at the top.

I know, it's shocking! That almost never happens! I had just picked up some new Spellbinders dies at the local paper store and couldn't wait to crack them open! This card has a lot of pieces and I'm not sure I'd want to make 20 of them!!! The sentiment is hot foiled with red foil. I have nothing but grief when I use the red foil. I have tried leaving the plate on the machine longer so it's good and hot, running it through the Glimmer machine twice, pretty much anything and it always just does something weird. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't have issues with silver or gold foil. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b><br />Cardstock: Hammermill Coverstock White, Real Red, Basic Black, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Silver Foil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ink: Real Red, Garden Green</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Stitched So Sweetly Dies (Stampin Up), Christmas Bird Poinsettia (Spellbinders), Build-A-Wreath (Spellbinders), Garden Wreath Add-Ons (Spellbinders), Joyful Christmas Sentiments (Spellbinders), Monoline Stars Embossing Folder (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Red Foil (Spellbinders), Basic Rhinestones (Stampin Up).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I thought about poinsettias and discovered one of the other girls had made a card with poinsettias and since Thanksgiving is over I am moving away from fall cards. Then I saw a sunflower cut in half already sitting on my desk. I knew that would work perfectly! I went with a lot of white on this card. Maybe a little too much white but we're going to roll with it for now! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Copper Foil, Hammermill White</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ink: Crushed Curry</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Stitched Squares, Lovely Layers Sunflowers (Honey Bee Stamps), Be Bold Sentiments (Spellbinders), Copper Foil (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Rhinestones (Honey Bee Stamps)</div><br />Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you're having a great week so far! Monday was a holiday here - for some people so my days are all mixed up. My husband was off but my kids were at school. Trevor and I got a hike in - I'm thinking this might have been our last one for 2023. Makes me a little sad but that's okay. The 4:00-4:30 alarms are getting hard! There is snow on the ground in the mountains which means ski season is right around the corner!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've got a brand new sketch at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>.

I didn't know what to do with 3 circles. I had to think on it for a few days before I tackled this one. I finally decided I would stick to fall coloured flowers with a kraft background! I hauled out my Be Bold Blooms and went to town. In the process I discovered that the centre die for the smallest flower is missing. I've turned my craft room apart looking for it to no avail. These little pieces are so small and you just never know when they get stuck to a certain white paw. She could track them anywhere. I also don't know how long it's been missing for.

Those yellow trees are called Larches (also known as Tamarack in some parts of the land). Larches are evergreens that don't stay evergreen! Their needles turn yellow in the fall and then they fall off. Don't get me wrong, the summit of Mount Fairview was spectacular and Lake Louise looked so small down below! It was fun to be out in the snow! This is our first snow of the season - now don't get me wrong, we don't have snow at our house, just some of the higher mountains! I do like hiking in the snow though as you don't get as hot which is nice and recovery goes faster!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm working on my distress oxide blending and these hydrangea are perfect to practice with! Unfortunately I couldn't get a good enough picture of my card.

My husband wasn't too keen on this one. He likes to summit peaks but I'd seen some pictures of this one and it's beautiful! He agreed to try out Piper's Pass. We hit the mountains just as the sun was coming up. It was so gorgeous! The larches have turned from green to gold in the mountains (see pic #3 below). We try and stay clear of big larch hikes because they're soooo busy. We were fortunate to see a few larches on our hike and not have to deal with all the people!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I tried a few things (like always) and they didn't quite work out (like always) so I went with a Christmas card! You can never have too many right? And you also can't go wrong with red and white?! I had one textured background chosen but it was too much so then I tried plain and didn't like it so I went with this one. I always have such a hard time deciding things! I really wanted to use red foil for the sentiment but for some reason I cannot get the red foil to work. I always end up with foil where I don't want foil. Has anyone else had this trouble with the red? I've struggled with some other colours too. So weird. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b><br />Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Silver Foil </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ink: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler (both SU)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Subtle Texture Embossing Folder (SU), Christmas Bird and Poinsettia (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Silver Hot Foil (Spellbinders), Joyful Christmas Sentiments (Spellbinders)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our most recent hike pictures! We hiked up to Black Prince Lake which you'll see was all dried up. We actually hiked up past another lake that had also dried up. It's so sad. Our summer was so dry. I don't know how some of these lakes will recover. We'd need a LOT of snow and rain next year! This was a fantastic little hike. It wasn't as strenuous as our last one. The weather was fantastic and we brought two friends along on this one! We also saw 14 Mountain Goats which was the highlight of the hike. Mountain goats are a little elusive so we were super pumped to catch a glimpse of some! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidkFGwE0hHSlPTvGQRKA8yhOM0G-vaRuSDE2bEYGxAoB5TzbfX7WdE5uyd-5s8QJU9kBxxTssT6eJhAnnFd7SGGW3JCfumxRAv9wzoJlqtrMk-9uiobPS4BQNwi7d9X3jjVi_Zltcc51-fCmv2IY9ROhEcdE-JOFZaaVhHnvDOUkB9doA7FktE4hix/s4032/IMG_6539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidkFGwE0hHSlPTvGQRKA8yhOM0G-vaRuSDE2bEYGxAoB5TzbfX7WdE5uyd-5s8QJU9kBxxTssT6eJhAnnFd7SGGW3JCfumxRAv9wzoJlqtrMk-9uiobPS4BQNwi7d9X3jjVi_Zltcc51-fCmv2IY9ROhEcdE-JOFZaaVhHnvDOUkB9doA7FktE4hix/w400-h300/IMG_6539.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9xsiCRzHwRRYR3smn3oRTNZKbG9e9_ZtuM1T4KTY7mYtsWkKCTntgA9KrIstkXmFzjfM2rI-oCt8MmeTlRZFntqwA8F_qXLJFOdYKlEO3MF3opJFIaSFCw2fHtz_3jc0OnJouzFW6hFiBp5MxjQgFwzwTDeooBPTiV_nmAQ3EcmlkDHMkx9nl_W_r/s4032/IMG_6552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9xsiCRzHwRRYR3smn3oRTNZKbG9e9_ZtuM1T4KTY7mYtsWkKCTntgA9KrIstkXmFzjfM2rI-oCt8MmeTlRZFntqwA8F_qXLJFOdYKlEO3MF3opJFIaSFCw2fHtz_3jc0OnJouzFW6hFiBp5MxjQgFwzwTDeooBPTiV_nmAQ3EcmlkDHMkx9nl_W_r/w400-h300/IMG_6552.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My husband being crazy!

I did too at first but I really wanted to make a fall card! I tried using some patterned paper but I'm running low on fall paper and had a hard time pairing together two patterns I liked! Needless to say, plain white won out! I grabbed my hardwood embossing folder (or maybe it's called woodgrain?) and added some texture. I used my Fall Foliage stamp set (Reverse Confetti) for the sentiment and just cut it out by hand. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b><br />Cardstock: Hammermill White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Hardwood Embossing Folder (SU), Autumn Wonder Dies (Spellbinders)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by today!

It was crazy. I actually got a little twinge of altitude sickness from this one! The false and true summits of this mountain - Observation Peak, are both over 10,000 feet. You can see both Bow (blue) and Peyto (turquoise) lakes from the top! There's a fantastic glacier on the back of the mountain we were able to check out - as in look at! These glaciers are not stable so we don't go near them! The last picture is just to show how steep the trail was. I am pretty sure it was the steepest one we've done so far! Definitely the most amazing and breathtaking! Hiking season is drawing to a close so you won't have many more pictures to see!!!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWA4CCjxCCr83saDOdGgi2z4BtgFxm306RcD3px2w6yGBpP76ja7SlxtXYye9ymi-zhxnnicrUgdbCmx80VjckFYMjC6O4IWbRbolzmqbKeyEuVmAUOUUt3XKgniyamcazgSzb3XZrBwpDIYP1AgoYyYgjdjTXB55mr66Pb0zrrf3G6bB2QuPfWBAj/s4032/IMG_6356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Wow, Wednesdays come fast when you've had a long weekend! Our youngest started 10th grade yesterday which seems almost impossible to me! The boys' high school has a staggered start so my oldest doesn't start until Thursday. Oh how I wish time would slow down a bit. I'm not ready for my oldest to start his last year of high school. Didn't he just start Kindergarten last year?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've got a great new sketch at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a> this week! Our hostess this week is the incredibly talented <a href="https://joyfulcreationswithkim.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kim Singdahlsen</a>! Kim's cards are spectacular.

I also knew I wanted to do a pink poinsettia! I don't think I've ever created a pink poinsettia so it was about time! I opted to keep the colour to just pink and white so the "greenery" is now "whitery"! I added some silver accents and was done!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Supplies:</b><br />Cardstock: Hammermill White Cover Stock, Blushing Bride, Silver Foil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ink: Blushing Bride</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other: Holiday Blooms (Spellbinders), Christmas Bird Poinsettia (Spellbinders), A Merry Little Christmas Sentiments (Spellbinders), Silver Foil (Spellbinders), Silver Sequins (SU), Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder (SU), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our most recent hike wasn't a big one but one that was on our list. It was long - almost 19 km but only 600 m elevation gain! We did the Plain of 6 Glaciers Teahouse at Lake Louise! It's an iconic hike and one we hadn't done. You'll see the teahouse in the photos below. We didn't actually stop and have anything at the teahouse. We just wanted to get on our way! It was so neat to see all the glaciers and hear them cracking. Our hiking season is coming to an end. At this time of year we have no idea how many more weeks we'll have. Snow and unfavourable weather can hit at any time and end things! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3effNND-12VK7ev3mkVrriMyG1sPact5sHygMf87d322NBQSjLbQPRs3JRLSgTT-wXiWwgClcWtR7gb2QszMb65S3PHW8aww6ZlxVfR2KxA956A2xiualUaH0WVFACwJmNH_ju_VMyyrmJuzrlh1eBOhvA9UjwZOYWAxIf0bzaGilxlHQNUaMrAQK/s4032/IMG_6109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3effNND-12VK7ev3mkVrriMyG1sPact5sHygMf87d322NBQSjLbQPRs3JRLSgTT-wXiWwgClcWtR7gb2QszMb65S3PHW8aww6ZlxVfR2KxA956A2xiualUaH0WVFACwJmNH_ju_VMyyrmJuzrlh1eBOhvA9UjwZOYWAxIf0bzaGilxlHQNUaMrAQK/w400-h300/IMG_6109.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnABAjzsR6NtZV0XXvW4pY78UwQAh_-OjlVdH8Otr-xj-Q2ZNNkAuYk3RfhuKBiPgCWeCr1Nos-dCbQoPDFMaMhY6HzcNpj1oUzJ20cZQEWf9II5SF-BeXmSHqpLGY5Jlact5w8rpi535BJy-sThyhGBwuvECUscYVzQCj3pTpo_kKlQf-rIIERaT7/s4032/IMG_6114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnABAjzsR6NtZV0XXvW4pY78UwQAh_-OjlVdH8Otr-xj-Q2ZNNkAuYk3RfhuKBiPgCWeCr1Nos-dCbQoPDFMaMhY6HzcNpj1oUzJ20cZQEWf9II5SF-BeXmSHqpLGY5Jlact5w8rpi535BJy-sThyhGBwuvECUscYVzQCj3pTpo_kKlQf-rIIERaT7/w400-h300/IMG_6114.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCP9Fl972f2VSnQ1mMqlwUqWtxzMx0oooTpK8qi3V29Dfbv8r3FMfdlGZ4nvbXupkznYG5UuvzH1PJB_FvvmbSlt_gdk2En2Qz0A0OY6F1qq5wOQEUo9Ju50qlvg6rhgd-v6cE6ut2Jjcartkk83rLt_80aYAImJ8ISiCPrPNrC9rYoO-OtjY6s78W/s4032/IMG_6148.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCP9Fl972f2VSnQ1mMqlwUqWtxzMx0oooTpK8qi3V29Dfbv8r3FMfdlGZ4nvbXupkznYG5UuvzH1PJB_FvvmbSlt_gdk2En2Qz0A0OY6F1qq5wOQEUo9Ju50qlvg6rhgd-v6cE6ut2Jjcartkk83rLt_80aYAImJ8ISiCPrPNrC9rYoO-OtjY6s78W/w400-h300/IMG_6148.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSgdPhSNS-GLkHtwWvrNFJDizxNN8Z3iw4h39FUnCDnZ_ocQLUiwYBOEWxk9P-R_BJxVFbofja3_b2ckfwLAcE-SQnabF_IhcEnTCA5MCGywTkZXtLw2hfX-PQgoSSyR6XvLnyqsXpogJzxypB48sWLH56UuosVSVNugIghXFZANfIgoEHCnOd2U9b/s4032/IMG_6153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSgdPhSNS-GLkHtwWvrNFJDizxNN8Z3iw4h39FUnCDnZ_ocQLUiwYBOEWxk9P-R_BJxVFbofja3_b2ckfwLAcE-SQnabF_IhcEnTCA5MCGywTkZXtLw2hfX-PQgoSSyR6XvLnyqsXpogJzxypB48sWLH56UuosVSVNugIghXFZANfIgoEHCnOd2U9b/w400-h300/IMG_6153.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRnxy3wmgQqlHoKam2QZzT3qxeTapP8VFFvxv6pHHeEW6MTXTqOvQkPtSdM7sKtb_XiW7DyFSQzUtaVKiuj6rF0emqIRhJimSAGFCSf3G-b6IYzK9z3cwy9Xj_XDytjfyyEQHKvrpPbXmA3lInzaivYrdFMVY1wsYWiEarDvboGPTOq43R7olxw0QJ/s4032/IMG_6159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRnxy3wmgQqlHoKam2QZzT3qxeTapP8VFFvxv6pHHeEW6MTXTqOvQkPtSdM7sKtb_XiW7DyFSQzUtaVKiuj6rF0emqIRhJimSAGFCSf3G-b6IYzK9z3cwy9Xj_XDytjfyyEQHKvrpPbXmA3lInzaivYrdFMVY1wsYWiEarDvboGPTOq43R7olxw0QJ/w400-h300/IMG_6159.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Zf59l-C_ng4NKEqec7v9fpKKqob6u5vYrli0fw8hav98-Kc3dYt7m4TClt18m2zWLDxahsImDEM4qcShBu1UUodhh_3mrbWrzAq5IRE-lt8Mo750dpOSooJfX73QQYfAHz_8hyXSa_T-MZmACoiP9mD3KWye7h8nso7o-e1EfaHMaTfn06WuBAt-/s4032/IMG_6168.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Zf59l-C_ng4NKEqec7v9fpKKqob6u5vYrli0fw8hav98-Kc3dYt7m4TClt18m2zWLDxahsImDEM4qcShBu1UUodhh_3mrbWrzAq5IRE-lt8Mo750dpOSooJfX73QQYfAHz_8hyXSa_T-MZmACoiP9mD3KWye7h8nso7o-e1EfaHMaTfn06WuBAt-/w400-h300/IMG_6168.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by today!
