Two days after Halloween we left for a family vacation to Jamaica, we couldn't have picked a better time with the cold weather settling in. When we returned this week our house was surrounded by the neighbours reindeer and blinking lights! Christmas already? Canadians are serious about our winter holiday! So while I scramble to peel the bats and ghosts off of the house, my heart really is itching to start celebrating the 'most wonderful time of the year'! The festive season for us is all … [Read more...]

Gone were the pretty packages with gift wrapped picked out just for you with a matching bow on top, the generic gift bag and plain tissue was too easy to pass up. Gift wrapping is a little bit of an art I supposed, … [Read more...]
