I had picked a bunch of tulips from my garden and fellow photographer Sean Norman of Norsea Photography thought I should share some on here, so here they are !!

My favourite toque has gone missing !!!   It was last seen on my head on a snowy walk we went on about a week ago (pics below).  I am pretty sure it was on my head when we returned home, yet it is nowhere to be found   I love this toque.  Love love love it.   I got it as a secret santa gift years ago at a soccer Xmas party and it has got a ton of use.  Snowboarding trips, camping trips, cold fall and winter walks will not be the same without it!   I have searched my house high and low, but I am not giving up.  It HAS to be here somewhere !!! Perhaps my mischeivious little kitties have hid it somewhere. Lucy and Dezzy do you have anything you need to tell mommy ??

As I sit here sipping hot tea listening to my Christmas playlist I have realized the the Christmas season is upon us in full force. It kinda came out of nowhere, but is definitely beating down the door letting us know that it is here now. Here are some of the tell tale signs that the holiday season has arrived: neighbours are hanging their Christmas lights and decorations, food hamper / clothing donation bins are appearing, stores are advertising their Christmas sales and playing seasonal music in their stores, Starbucks is offering their festive drink menu complete with eggnog and gingerbread flavoured lattes (haven’t tried either, but they are on my ‘to do’ list), santa and his elves are set up in the mall, and I have the sudden urge to take up baking and consume glutenous amounts of shortbread.

This is a perfect time of year to reflect on everything we are grateful for and to share with those less fortunate. I am blessed in so many ways, and humbled by it.

I would like to take this time to express my deep gratitude to my clients. Without you my business would not exist, this blog would not exist, my passion and determination to take my photography to the ‘next level’ would not be fostered by your enthusiasm and ideas, I would not be encouraged by your kind comments and referrals….for all that you have done for me and my business this year I am truly grateful. I have amazing clients and I am so so so so lucky. You enable me to do what I love for a living, and that is valuable beyond words.

I wish you good health, happiness, success and love.

PS – here are a couple pics Darren and I took last night with the automatic timer of our point and shoot camera to prove that I was successful in getting him into the Christmas spirit
