operation breakfast = success!
23 DecIt has been an incredibly insane 2010 – with many new starts, new friends and new adventures. But regardless of the insanity in my life – my yearly goal is to organize & execute music+kids=joy! for The Children’s Breakfast Club. My hope is to raise a little more money than the previous year, and raise awareness of the larger problem that exists in our city. And if I can pull it off, and people can come out and have a great time – then it’s a success to me.
This year I was able to raise nearly $1k, which was the largest generated thus far! I’m very thankful to be able to produce this initiative and have it continue to thrive – A BIG Thank You to all donors, sponsors, volunteers & everyone who has helped me along the way!

WOMAN OF HOUSE
19 JulThe event Woman of House - is the brainchild of my friend Enza Ruscillo. From a place of inner-strength, she created the event to celebrate the beauty of women – through the bond of house music, and honour the magic that happens when they come together and empower one another. The event celebrates women, but is for EVERYONE! This is exactly what we need right now, and I absolutely love the concept. I’m so excited to be a part of it!
Magic truly happens when we empower women!
The first event is Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at Ultra SupperClub Rooftop Patio. Show starts at 8pm with Lucy Tic, Kymm Dee & Adam Fairhurst, and performances by PIP & Eden Fieldstone & Albeeno. Get ready. Bring your dancing shoes. Don’t miss this! Free before 10pm.
** Tip: there will be 100 swag bags from over 18 sponsors given away at the event!
Below is my contribution to the swag bags.

Hopeful
I’m truly astounded by the abundance of creativity in this city of ours – it’s inspiring, encouraging and enlightening. Gabrielle Lasporte’s porfolio is not only visually stunning, but also tells vivid stories – and it’s currently on display in Toronto. This is Gabrielle’s first show of new work in over two years. This new series further explores portraiture using the Modern Batik technique along with the use of traditional Batik tools. This is a show not to be missed! Gabrielle’s work will be exhibited until July 8th, 2010.

a profitable hobby.
1 JunWhat was once a creative hobby has morphed into an exciting & profitable project! I’ve been making cards for the past 10 years – initially as a way to recycle architecture materials, but over the years evolved to reusing paper, transforming objects & re-purposing jewelry for my projects. Since improving and expanding the collection, I’ve stopped giving them away and have made them available for purchase. The response has been both positive & inspiring. Who knew that old scraps could be in demand? Here are some samples from my collection.
Metallic Reds - A man who runs a print shop made these cards with me.
Canary - Leftover paper scraps & vellum.
Muted & Dark - I love the monochromatic.
Mini-cards - Dismantled old costume jewels & leftover paper.
Ultra Recycled Cards - Deconstructed costume jewels & random paper.
Traipsing to the Orient - Found good quality Asian-inspired paper & got inspired.
