I am apparently Turquoise...what colour is your life's path?
I don't know why I thought I'd had time/energy to update over the holidays.
Madness!
Madness, I say!
I promise to update more, soon.
1997 was weird. Titanic was not that great.
I have slightly higher hopes for 2011.

going home
Christmas Holidays...where the heck did you even come from!It hit me hard on Thursday just how much has to get done and be organized before we go. Things are under control.
I've got some dates of the mejool? variety and coffee,
motivation ... whoooza bring it on!
I am going to win, Sunday!
I am going to miss my darling Molly.
I am really excited to see my Nannie.
I am going to miss all of my lady birds.
I have not yet reached the point in my life where I have the desire to spend Christmas anywhere but my Homeland. However, this year, I got the first inklings of a wish to stay right where I am, or have people come out this way instead of making the epic journey once a year.
Seriously, might as well be one of these guys.
My card-making workshop with the kids was a BLAST. We made cards, Santa and Rudolph costumes, and little gift boxes. At the end we had hot chocolate with candy canes. I believe they had as much fun as I did, and I hope they had fun at Santa's Ship. Some of them made cards to give Santa because "Santa gives US presents, so why don't we show him how much we care?".
I feel Christmas Spirit coming on.
Christmas Spirit?
Yes, I have it. In spades. I would have it all year long if everyone else went along. Not singing Christmas carols and such, but just..really. You know?
Alright, so life has been crazy.
My laptop is janked, so no new update.
But I will have one by Monday.
I am IN Newfoundland!

Double Rainbow...omg!
Double Rainbow, OMG.
been busy.busy busy.
The craft fair went quite well on Saturday, best of all though, was bartering with other booths, after.
Did I already say that? In another post?
Deja-vu (deja-vous?)
????????????
Back to normal.
Monday was filled with errands and such.
Tuesday was town, which was actually great. Having breakfast with Genny and Jenn at Jazzamiah's was excellent. I highly recommend it if you are in need of good-priced, tasty eats in Sidney (behind Capital Iron).
TODAY
Located my best friend's number.
Worked with five distinct personalities and learned a lot.
Took pictures with my friend, Kris. Thank you so much! I learned a lot.
Had the last volleyball practice of the year with the school kids.
It has been truly inspiring working with them.
I must write more on that later, but we ACTUALLY SCRIMMAGED today
and I am SO PROUD.
Needless to say, I learned a lot.
TOMORROW
Spiked, spice rum beverages with G&J, sans kids, and baking.
Lots of baking. And rum.
Yum!
Expect pictures and videos in my next blog.
To be honest, I probably won't update again until Friday.
By then, I should be able to think in-depth, ha.
Christmas is coming,
I'm leaving on a jet plane so soon!

Lino Printing Amongst Other Things
Hello All....
My friend Peggy inspired me to do my own project,
and my personal project will be, from now until at least
the New Year, to make how-to videos and post them, at least
once a week. So here is a really quick video I shot last week
and threw together a few days ago. I intend to make a more
thorough lino making video soon. And a cookie video. And
OH the goodies I have in store for you, my friends...
In the mean time, this past Saturday was the Christmas Craft Fair
at the South End Hall. I made gift tags, organic cat toys, cards, and
cookies! Chocolate Pretzels, Gingersnaps, gingerbread (not the kind I made but looks great), and cranberry-
blueberry shortbreads - yum yum. It was a very successful day, and at the
end I did a bunch of bartering with other booths.
Might have got a few Christmas presents..!!!
Anyways, here are some holiday-esque pictures, followed by my How To Lino Print...

VooDoo Dolls!
Here are two of the dolls made at my doll-making workshop...
I am so proud - how excellent are they?
Looking forward to doing a few more doll-making classes with
the kids after Christmas.
Anyways, here they are.
Christmas party tonight with dear friends.
Perhaps a bit early, but better early than
not at all. We've all got places to be over
the holidays, so we shall gather now!!!
