Exploring and Enjoying Downtown Montreal

This summer my family and I enjoyed exploring Montreal, Quebec. Our drive to Montreal was about 5 hours from Toronto with a few stopovers at ONroute locations. We stayed over at the largest hotel in the province of Quebec, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in Montreal. The Canadian National Railway built this downtown hotel in the 1950s.

I involved my children to make these cute quilled magnets with Corrugated Cardboard Strips. This was our first time quilling with Corrugated Cardboard Strips, and the process was smooth because we followed the clear instructions on the package of the Corrugated Cardboard Strips from Quilled Creations. My children enjoyed making this fish and frog with the Corrugated Cardboard Strips.
