Hi Stampers

Apologies on being a bit AWOL.   You can all relate to things getting out of control at this time of year.  BUT.. the good (great) news is I am officially off work now until January.    I hope for lots of food, drink and merriment with a BIG dash of creativity during this period.   2 more presents to buy and I am done.   Oh.. except I haven’t finished my own Christmas cards yet!

Last Thursday was our annual Christmas lunch at work (which is organized by the Admins, there are 6 of us).  This year it was for 306 people.   Lots of prep work, skits, singing, prizes and of course food.    Here is a video of what it looks like (before peeps – there would be too many heads to blur).      It is a lot of work to put together but I think everyone enjoys it.     There may be video of me signing…. but I am NOT going to post that !


Friday was our Department Pot Luck… and it is growing every year.   I didn’t count how many participated but it was probably close to 70.   I co-ordinate it with loads of help from others in the department.   A bit of a hiccup for me.. on Friday morning I went to pull out of the driveway, got a few houses away and realized I had a flat tire.   I backed into the driveway and called a friend  (she lives the next street over) to pick me up – loaded her car with pressies, cookies and meatballs and headed to work .   I figured I would deal with the car later… after all, I had a potluck to set up 🙂    It is a fun time.  I love that people grab their goodies and then scatter throughout the department – grouped at tables, in conference rooms etc. enjoying the time together .    I worry every year if we will have enough, the variety, etc… but it always works out. (faces blurred to protect the innocent:))

Laurie drove me home after work and her hubby stopped by to try and fix the tire.  No go.   So yep… I left the car in the driveway again because I had a crew coming on Saturday morning at 10:00 am for Club Day and I had things to do 🙂      Woke up Saturday morning and finally called CAA at 8:15, they were at my house at 8:40 and changed my tire to the spare.   Turns out I had a big (huge) nail in my tire.   I finally headed to Bramblea Tire when the Club left at 12:30 and had the tire fixed and replaced.

 

Guess what I am going to do today…. Yep… PJ’s & Coffee.  Let the vacay begin.     I did say I was “officially” off work, but with the last few days of work being hectic, I may go in again at some point to clean up things that I didn’t get done.   No guarantees though.

So… who wants to see the last Club Card for November.   Unfortunately the Sleigh Ride edgelits are no longer available 🙁

Jingle All the way

I will start posting December’s cards this week.
