So long, farewell........

Hi.  It's been a slice.  I've decided to take a break from this blog.  For how long?  I'm not sure.  I know if I never come back that my little piece of the pie will live on, forever more, in the great wide web world.  I still intend to sparkjoy.  I sure do.  I hope you will as well.  For yourself most of all.  Remember: sparks light fires.  And Joy is what life is all about.  Those brief and blissful pockets of Joy in this frickin tough ass life.  So off I go to take some time to go inward during these wintery months to take care of myself and move on through another of life's lessons and changes.  I think this year will be a real shake up for me.  Lots of internal changes going on.  Bloody hard work but in the end worth it.  I think you know of what I speak.  We are all going through this.  All the time.  Ah, to be human.  Hang in there honeys.  Be kind to yourself.  If you don't see that spark yet - you just wait - honest - take one day at a time - breathe - talk yourself out of being so scared - find that strength that lives in you - and keep waiting..........it will be worth it.  Promise.  ciao ciao and cheerio dearios!

Merry Merry

Merry Merry!  Wishing you all the best in the coming New Year.....

changes....

from Geninne's Art Blog

More farting about with color and change on this blog.  I did try it 'plain' and white but that just did not do it for me....cheerio dearios!  

change - one sure thing you can count on

Hi.  I'm trying out a new and 'simpler' blog.  I tend to go to overload so I'm thinking:  lets go back to basics and see what happens.  It's Tuesday and I plan on doing some shopping Thursday- then just eating ;).

Merry merry all you rascals - may 2011 bring you great things.  See you in the New Year! 

classic

o yes - tis the season -

around xmas everything smiles

o sound of music - you da best

o yes, in this weather....o YES!

as one gets older - helps to have a recipe handy......ha

All classics from the wide-web!  If you'd like to know from where, do leave me a message and I will investigate the source.  Sorry, my butt is just home from work and it is off to have grilled cheese sandwhiches.

snowstorming in Ontario and dear B missed her flight and D is shoveling madly - nuts!  Tried to call there but no answer.  Hoping they've stayed put but knowing them they are out helping peeps ......stay inside you rascals and keep cosy and wait it out!  Don't make us send Santa after you.........xo

10 days to xmas they say.  Lord.  Dear crumpet and family will be heading south!  lucky ducks.  well deserved.  Cheerio!

shadows and suprises

Ola sweeties.  The first three photos were taken by me - the cool button wreath and trees - Gennine's Art Blog (she is amazing....) - and the last - off the wide web - xmas suprise!  ;)

GW and Hub app's and bevvy's and fun on for Saturday night.  We exchange a 10 giftie - the 'steal' game usually comes into play - can have some good laughs over who opens what gift....hope to inspire a few guffaws this year...we'll see.  Will try and wrap the giftie so it's not obvious what it is.  I'll let you know how that went and what I got.

-28 today with windchill.  Toque, you are coming with me today.  Hair be-darned!  Have a cheesy-weekend.....gathering Sat and watching 30 rock/Office/Medium tonite and 'friday night french club' on the agenda.  Nice glass of wine and some munchies for dinner........over and out.......

inside....outside

Inside - chocolate countdowns and giant elves named 'Lucy' (tx Kel: she's become an xmas staple).  Outside - snowcakes a-piling all over the summer furniture, gloriously untouched (which amazes me: perhaps a nice butt-print is in order for that muskoka chair.....).

Cheerio dearios........
