finding friends...

So here's a fun story:

Almost a year and a half ago... some of you sweet readers found me through elycia's blog.

(A bunch of us bloggers had met up for a delightful *art/tea party*).

One person who left me a comment said she was living in England.. but would soon be moving allll the way over here to Canada... to Ontario.. to a little country town near my home city!

What a small world, indeed.

This is the hilarity of the Internet.

Meeting lovely souls across the world... and then connecting in person!

I told her we should meet, I could welcome her to this new land with a muffins basket (ok, banana choc.chip bread) and we should attend a craft show together.

So, we did.

Then coffee dates followed.

Baking adventures.

Photography outings.

We actually 'clicked' (that pun is for you, pal).

(Annnnd.. LAN parties... ok, no, not really).

This is actually a shot of our very recent 'creative collaboration' called pair//spective, a new series starting tomorrow on our blogs!  Theme: one subject matter (photo shoot/sketching/creative expression etc) and two interpretations/perspectives on it.

 And if you think our top buns look cute here.. check out this gorgeous banner she made for our series:

So now you know a bit of the fun background on Kiki and I.

An international internet connection... transforming into a real life friendship in this wee city.

She's a swell gal, and talented photographer, who I enjoy getting to know better with each new adventure!  Hop on over and give her some love.

Annnnd, stay tuned for tomorrow friends, it's going to have you seeing double the fun.

*Have you made 'real life' connections with online friends?*
