Valentine Door Hanger Swap
The Canadian Chickies group has another swap going on: "Retro Valentines Door Hanger Swap". I made this for my partner, but I'm a little worried that I didn't really to a "retro" themed hanger.
Hopefully I've made up for it by using a box of chocolates as part of my swap!
I just need to add a ribbon hanger on the top and it's all done.

Now We Can Start Christmas
Today was the last fair day of the year! Now it's time to go visit Santa, go to the German Christmas Market, Ride the Christmas Train in Stanley Park, get a Christmas Tree.......
Here's a few photo's from the One of a Kind Show. This was my first ever large trade show, and it was a great experience! I'm just so, so, so tired!

Snapshots of Halloween 2010
The big day has come and gone *poof* just like that! We have so much candy in our house, it's ridiculous - we need some help eating it!
See the pink glitter dots around my daughters eyes? (just like one of her mermaid barbies). I thought I was the "clever crafty" genius, by adding pink craft glitter to clear body glitter gel. It looked GREAT, but when it came time to wash it off, we found out that the pink colour from the craft glitter had seeped into her pores, and no amount of scrubbing, or vaseline, or eye make-up remover could remove the pink stained dots on her face! There's still traces now, and it's been 3 days!
Here's some party decorations at a little friend's Halloween party:
A ghoulish band was playing on the porch of this house along the "Parade of Lost Souls" route:
One of my favourite pumpkins from last night:
At the end of the night, there was a big neighbourhood fireworks party. It all started off with some sparklers for the kids:
The "works" lined up:
These dads killed me. They were looking at each other saying "you've done this before right?"...."no, I thought you've done it"..."No, I have no idea what I'm doing"....."Neither do I".....

Rain or shine, the market is always a fun, vibrant outing!
Maybe you'll need to buy some sugar pumpkins....
....for the pumpkin pie!
Or maybe you'll need to buy some crisp apples to munch on, or.....
...for an Apple pie (my favourite!).
Or some potatoes for that perfect mashed potato side dish, all ready to be smothered in gravy! I always make "Sour Cream Refrigerator Mashed Potatoes"
Or some fresh yams!
