Maddylane
Hello, Bonjour!
My name is Maddylane and I'm a decor designer and newspaper columnist from Montreal, Canada. My flickr name is (MiySpirit) Miy is for make-it-yourself, and spirit is for the passion of making things.
I just love to make things, and I’ll admit I’m addicted to making things, its my passion and my work! I invite you to visit my or should I say Miy (for make-it-yourself) website and see and share with you all kinds of creative projects you can make yourself, with the how-to steps, for the home, garden, Holidays, Halloween, even creative projects for kids and teens.
I'm Bilingual in English and French.
And when i'm not making things, my hobbies are Kayaking,
fast walking, photography and enjoying nature.
I love taking pictures just as much as I like making things (or perhaps even more), it's the passion of capturing a moment, an instant forever ! Thank you for wondering through my collection, I have placed a few of my favorite captures which are like images of my soul, and hope you enjoy your visit. Cheers!

I thank you for all your wonderful visits and comments, truly all most appreciated. However if you do not have a buddy icon or pictures of your own to share, out of picture copyrights policies, I will block you!

Please always ask for my permission to use my images on blogs or websites. I see my images all over the internet, and it's not fair, at least have the dignity to but my website reference. Contact me for more information and permission, thank you. All RIGHTS RESERVED.

    "Well today is a special day my beautiful book arrived from Maddy, Mystical Journey, Photo Poetry for the Heart and Soul...and my oh my how very fortunate I am to have received this beautiful gift. From Maddy’s personal letter complete with soothing tea, to the very end of this book it was indeed a Mystical journey...and has touched my heart. From the very first post that Maddy made on one of my photos, you just knew she was special, a kindred spirit, a gifted photographer, and a living sage...A Being who is here carrying the lamp for us to see by, a scribe writing the words we need to hear. A truly gifted and magical photographer. So that we may see. I have been so fortunate to have Maddy as a spirit in kind through the flickr network. Now I can actually touch and sense that spirit in this beautiful book. It is MAGNIFICENT. Thank you MaddyLane for sharing your spirit with me. A true gift to us...you are one of a Kind. I will treasure this book as I treasure our friendship... Humbly your friend Suzanne"

    "I wish to start out saying.....to know Maddy is to love her. She has something very special about her. I believe it is very likely that She was put here in life to make a REAL difference...and I say that with all seriousness. She just has something about her that just shines very bright.

    Her work is inspiring in every aspect....it touches and stirs something deep within you. And the insightful words she carries with them is just AWESOME. Also She shares her delightful craftiness as well ...which is just too cool. She is one smart cookie!!!!!!!

    Maddy I want to take this time and say personally that I admire you as a woman...a friend and a human being. YOU are just one of the most remarkable women that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. YOU really have something that outshines so many....it is something I feel and have felt for quite some time. I am honored to call you friend. And...yes I shall always be yours.

    "I met Maddy on Flickr, just like my other photo friends. What sealed the friendship forever was a magical invitation to a virtual tea party. I even got to choose my own Adirondack chair at the gathering. But, my admiration goes much further than that. I think Maddy has extraordinary talent. She’s not only a gifted photographer, she possesses incredible creativity, which she brings to her photos…to her whole life. She is an extraordinary beauty, inside and out, a lovely spirit…a muse. If you have some time to spare, stop by Maddy’s photostream. You’ll understand some of the awe I have for my BFFF, Maddy Lane."

    "Hafa Adai from Guam!!!! Maddy is such an inspiration to me and since the first time she found my stream, she constantly leaves a true comment that just warms your heart. MIYSPIRIT is a great name for her because she surely lifts my spirits! She also shares her MIY projects with all of us which is such a treat. If you able to get this lovely woman to your stream, you should be thankful. Now on my list of "things to do" is to meet Maddylane. Thank you Maddy for being my flickr friend! ;-D"

    "Maddy is an amazing woman,, she has more strength than all the superheros in the world. She is a devoted mother, enormously creative, very funny, throws great parties for her flickr friends on her stream, is a snappy dresser, and is so down to earth. If you haven't stopped by, or are just in for a glance, stop, brakes on back the truck up, you will be impressed. Maddy is one of the kindest, warmest and nicest people I have never met. Perhaps one day, I will sell my children and come to Hudson Quebec to meet her. In the mean time, she will be a favorite contact for me in flickr land. Maddy rocks!!!!!"

    with her wonderful and artistic captures, she gives great thought to
    every detail and her artistic talent comes through.
    Very considerate with her comments, it takes a good person to take a moment to write couple words, and thats what Maddy is.
