Santa Claus parade, pet peeve and such

Hello, everyone!

I'm sure nobody stops by here regularly, because updates are few and far between ... We've been incredibly busy! Last weekend was the Santa Claus parade, and our youth members entered a float for the first time. It was a wonderful night out, with people lining the streets of the route 5 and 6 deep. Not too cold, dry streets - not even one snowflake - the smell of hot chocolate in the air, and excited children buzzing and giggling, all bundled up.

The pictures can be found online here if anyone wants to take a look.

Anyway, while looking for pictures to use on a 2007 calendar for family, I found an old picture I made some years ago. My pet peeve is when people leave the lid of a toilet up while flushing. The menfolk have been well-trained very early on in this household - all toilets are always closed, except when in use! So, the picture was made (4x6 inch) for the benefit of visitors or guests, printed and placed in all the bathrooms in the house.

Here is a small view of it - all items were created by me, and the picture is an old, free stock photo. Would anyone be interested in downloading a printable version, 100 ppi? Just post a comment with your email, and I'll send it off!

Have a great day!

Did a Reiki course!

Hi, everyone - don't think many people read here, but no matter.

What a week last week was! Hardly touched ground, didn't ge to reply to emails as I wanted to, didn't get to visit blogs and post comments --- so please forgive me if I didn't reciprocate something you posted or sent!

What took up a large chunk of time, was that I did a training course in Reiki this last weekend. It ran on the Friday evening until 10.30 pm, the whole of Saturday, and again Sunday afternoon after church, into the evening.

It was wonderful! To feel the energy flowing through your hands, to learn the gentle power, to be able to help others and yourself in the process - a wonderful gift.

I really want to create some digital items or layouts or quickpages or something to share, but this weekend is a craft sale I'm working for, so maybe not before next week! Please keep checking back if you want to see if there might be something you would like to pick up. You can also just enter your email address on the right, under my profile link, to be updated by email if there are changes in the blog.

Any Reiki people out there? Please post a comment and a link of where I can get in touch with you!
