It's been awhile....

that's because we've been very busy!

And OMG! what happened? it's November 1st already.... you know what that means - Christmas is in 7 weeks (54 days) and December is only 30 days away! Ho Ho Ho! get your Happy on! it will soon be the festive season.  Mind you, the shops have had Christmas decorations, gifts and Christmas music since after the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in October.

I've got some craft fairs lined up already - for my local friends... go to GOT CRAFT? for a listing of other craft fairs and markets.

Circle Craft  Nov.11-16

Vancouver Christmas Market  November 22nd - December 24

Christmas at Hycroft Nov. 20-23

Since Thanksgiving we've had family visitors from Germany :)  We had a great visit with Mausi and Reimer.  Lots of "tourist" stuff - I  played tour guide for several days and we really enjoyed having them here.

I won a "Loyality" prize with the Vancouver Whitecaps and had the amazing experience of walking out onto the pitch with the team at the start of the Oct. 25th match.  OMG! it was unreal!

So with social activities, friends, family and work - October disappeared in a blink!  Here we are at the beginning of November and I'm preparing for round 2 of the "German Invasion"  - Katharina is arriving for a visit until the 14th of November.  There goes 1/2 the month! 

And don't forget....
