I hope you all had a great Christmas. We sure did. We spoiled our kids rotten, and let me tell you, they deserve every bit of it. My house has turned into a LEGO central, we've spent days putting together all the stuff they've been given. My older son was also given a real newtonian telescope and we're hoping to try it out tomorrow. We are all very excited about that. I can tell you that all our camping trips next year will be planned around the light pollution. :-)

I am also trying to put together a classes and clubs schedule for the next 6 months. I am opening a new club in February, so let me know if you would like to join us, or you know someone else who would like to do so.

Here are some new classes for you.

What a name, eh? It makes you wanna go and see it, right? Come check us out on Granville Island at Carousel Theatre's studio (1411 Cartwright Street) and get some sweet last minute gifts while supporting local artists and Carousel Theatre for Young People! This is a perfect opportunity for all of you who haven't seen my jewelry yet and keep asking about it. Come and chat with me...

Well, as you know, I've got totally behind with my Christmas crafting. So, what do I do? Make a Valentine's Day project. Ha! Lookie:

On the other note, we just came back from camping at Cultus lake. It was great, weather was beautiful, water cold but refreshing... We're off to Green Lake up by 70 Miles House next weekend. Bring on the s'mores!!! Stayed tuned for scrapbooking story of summer 2009. Many beautiful pictures to scrap. Too many. Now I'll be behind again. My older son befriended a caterpillar and was extremely upset that he had to leave him behind. He cried and was mourning for quite some time. No way I am getting them a pet.
