Hi Cassandra, thank you very much for your lovely comment. It’s a joy to hear from you.

So true! I really think that plays a role, too. It’s part of the reason as well, I believe, that we don’t per see (broadly speaking) go as “all-out” when it comes to patriotic decor to the degree that some Americans do, for example, on our nation’s birthday.

We can definitely be a modest lot at times. A point that I find both appealing and endearing – especially as someone who is extremely shy and modest by nation myself.

You’re very welcome! I’ve been following your blog for a while now (via Bloglovin’) and absolutely adore the gorgeous projects that you share there.

I hope that your month is unfolding positively and that you had a sunny, wonderful July 1st!

Thanks for visiting and leaving such lovely comments on my creations. So happy that they bring some joy and/or enjoyment to others.

Thank you wholeheartedly, dearest Ivana. Your compliments have me blushing darker than the iconic red maple leaves that grace our nation’s flag.

I’m so happy to know that you’ve Canada to be a welcoming country. The same is true for my husband, Tony, who is originally from Italy (after a few years or working our way through the Cnd immigration system, he was able to become a Canadian citizen a few years ago now – on what will forever stand as one of the happiest days of of our lives).

I completely agree that Canada should be celebrated and commemorated with gusto! We tend to be shier with our patriotism in this country than some others (including our neighbours to the south). That’s okay, of course, but it’s important to let our love for Canada shine sometimes, too, and I think that crafting projects that pertain to this beautiful nation are one of the loveliest and most personalized ways to do just that.

Thank you again, my sweet friend. I hope that your July 1st celebration abounded with happiness, fun and festive cheer! 🍁

🥰🥰🥰 Sweet Willow, your kindness knows no limits. Thank you for your blush-inducingly lovely words.

I am absolutely certain that your own talent abounds and that your crafts are nothing shy of gorgeous as well. 😍

Many hugs & cheerful weekend wishes coming your way,

What a terrifically kind, lovely compliment, sweet Pauline. Thank you very much.

These are amongst my very favourite colours – both to use in paper crafting and in general – so getting a chance to combine them for such a festive, patriotic make was an especially enjoyable experience.

I hope that you’re doing well and enjoying a sunny, beautiful July.

Big hugs,
♥ Autumn

You are blush-inducingly kind, Meg. Thank you very much! 🥰

This card was a joy to put together and the star of our Canada Day decor this year. I have plans to send it to a loved one next year though – if, in the end, I can bring myself to part with it. 😄

Many thanks again. I sincerely appreciate your visit and lovely comment.

Wishing you a sunny, wonderful weekend,
♥ Autumn
