Some pretty paper

October 21, 2009

The Paper Place on Queen Street West in Toronto is a fabulous place to lose yourself in beautiful handmade paper, hand-crafted cards, various stationery and a slew of other fun items such as fancy pens, animal-shaped paper clips, sushi-styled magnets and very cute paper balloons. Treat yourself to some time browsing in this store that also offers workshops in book binding, printmaking, and crafting with paper.

It’s a zoo out there

October 18, 2009

A friend and I participated in the Oasis ZooRun 10K yesterday — we actually did better than we expected (i.e. ran more than we walked) and had a great time making our way through the zoo and seeing some of the animals so early in the morning. What a great way to support the Toronto Zoo and all its residents!

Apple of my eye

After 10 years of not being able to eat apples, my sister just found out that she  can now munch on these awesome fruits! (Way to go, Em!) … and boo on food allergies!

“Unsub” = “unknown subject” — I’m not sure why I have such a hard time remembering this as it’s constantly used in “Criminal Minds” which I enjoy watching … guess I wasn’t meant to be an FBI agent.

In the meantime, here’s today’s CSOTD (Creative Something of the Day):

Bunny beat up

I went to dictionary.com to make sure I had the right spelling and definition of “odiferous” and was provided with a few websites that offered flatulence treatments/cures as well as Mandarin Chinese lessons — not sure what the connection is there but now on to today’s Creative Something of the Day (sorry bunny!):

Clocking in, clocking out

October 13, 2009

Long weekends are so sweet — but sometimes that extra day just makes it that much harder to get back into the normal routine of things. I think my CSOTD (Creative Something of the Day) kinda says it all:

Giving thanks

October 12, 2009

Hope everyone had a nice (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend — no gobble gobble for me this year but there was plenty of other yummy eats to enjoy and lots of pretty fantastic company around! Yes, I am one very lucky girl!

And while they weren’t part of the feasting this weekend, I have to admit that there are moments where McDonald french fries just totally hit the spot:
