Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html. Maybe you could join our little group!
Hello all! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas wherever you were, and that you have recovered! It does take a lot out of me now, and after returning home, I slept like a log 2 days in a row! Unheard of!
Here is my desk this morning, awaiting a new project. I think I need a good tidying of my art room first though!
We left for Toronto to spend Christmas with the "kids" and DD's in-laws, and had a fabulous time! We were going to leave on Friday, but left on Thursday instead. This is why:
Friday Dec 23 |
Friday was the start of the Big Storm of 22, a once in a decade type storm. I was very glad we made the choice that we did! Many people did not make it to where they were going. Even the trains were not safe
This was just one of the trains stranded for 17 hours, full of people trying to get home for Christmas. No food, no water, no facilities. Our train system is pretty bad compared to Europe, and even USA.
Anyway, we were very smart to leave when we did, we hunkered down for the storm on Friday and by Saturday Toronto had cleared everything and we were able to go to our son-in-law's parents for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner - 14 people for dinner!
Granddaughter Jasper had a great time opening presents, though she still doesn't really understand any of it. Here she is with 2 of her fav presents:
Have a great week, and...
Happy New Year!

So glad you got home before the storm - that shot of the train stuck with fallen trees is terrible to think of.
Glad you got to spend your time with the family.
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year
