yvonne parks: My new favourite room...

WHO

Hi there. I'm Yvonne, and I'm a wife, Mom of 2 and business chick. Welcome!

I started this blog 17 years ago, back when most people said "What's a Blog?" (and before Facebook!) Well, I'm still here maintaining this blog when I can, simply to continue archiving all the memories that I have invested here. :)

We moved to Ottawa in August of 2007, but I've spent the previous years of my life in a city called Winnipeg (Ever heard of it?) I've been a worship leader for over 33 years, and I often say that "I don't really like music...I just love worship"

If you like, you click on the CD in the right column of this blog, and hear clips of my album "Only One Love".

And work? I have a small graphic design company (www.pearcreative.ca) specializing in Book Cover Design and marketing materials. I love love LOVE my job!

I share my adventures with my incredible husband of 25 years (Jason) and our two gorgeous daughters aged 16 and 19.

My new favourite room...

Jason and I have been married 14 years, and have always had hand-me-down furniture in our bedroom. It took 14 years...but we finally bought a new bed and a couple pieces of furniture from Ikea! (and the other details are thanks to Dollarama! (glass containers, rocks, frames, plants/flowers, picture frames, paints and canvas...)

For those of you who have asked to see:
