Waiting is over, now the dolls need only to practice their lines, and decide which spells to cast when the time comes.
This was a lot of fun……… more to come.
Have a great start to the week-end. every one.
Remember – PL Precept #1 Life is Art make the best of every day! Come what may!

it happens, you are trying to get somewhere and up ahead, the flashing lights and sirens give advance warning, that just ahead, someone is having not so good a day. I knew I had to have the truck home in time for Hubby to get to the vet… I checked the dashboard, and saw if the delay wasn’t too long, I’d make it on time.
Turning on the radio, I was immediately surrounded with the drive home news, the traffic delays and the accidents, roads to avoid etc. Didn’t seem to matter which station, they were all about the snarled traffic, and the bumper to bumper drive home for those stuck on what is supposed to be a freeway. Even the express lanes it seems were not moving, except at a snails pace.
Other cars, and a big school bus were trying to maneuver their vehicles to take side streets. With cars/trucks at a standstill, and no where to move to it made their task very difficult. Fortunately for me I had my ice coffee to sip on, and enough for a second refill in my extra container. I decided to turn off the busy nattering, and just sit in the truck pondering the days events.
I had actually had a wonderful visit with a dear friend who after almost 10 years of visiting back and forth via the internet, had met over lunch a couple of months back. She is like a breath of fresh air, we share a lot of interests, so we had a show and tell luncheon, and I admit to being rather chuffed about it. To share with someone else who knows the excitement of a “blank page” or what one can do with a rubber stamp or wafer thin die, is rather exhilarating. I had even taken my experiments (work in progress) to show her. How cool is that…. To be able to present your “babies” and bask in the glow of having another “artist/crafter” understand why you think a typeset page, turned into a blank page with bumps and creases is so great. It had been a fantastic lunch… so being stuck in traffic was not going to spoil my mood.
There are choices we make in life, we can grumble and complain about a negative inconvenience that we have no control over, or we can dwell on a positive. I always lean towards the positive. I find it so much more productive for me, and time passes, and I get to appreciate, all the more, the experience of sharing with a friend.
PL Precept #4 Being Annoyed Limits Your Expression
PL Principle # 5 I will not get angry at anyone or anything.
This Wednesday, December 21st. is when the church of Perfect Liberty, celebrates Thanksgiving, Service is at 7 PM. Being stuck in the traffic gave me much time to reflect on the many blessings in my life. Someone else (the reason for the flashing lights) was not as blessed. While I give thanks for my day, I pray that something positive will balance out the negative that happened to someone else.

Hand made and on display at MultiCrafts Retail and Clearance Center Right now there is a huge sale going on in the Clearance Center, Liz maybe knocked her head on an overhead pallet, whatever the reason, she has decided to put out many of the Xmas making supplies needed to create unique and wonderful winter displays at a greatly reduced price.
Yes there is a catch, the clearance center is only open (and this is temporarily) Wednesday through Saturday, from 10 – 3 pm so that crafters can get to work on their pieces. Main store hours are from Monday through Saturday, nothing changes there.
Remembrance Day, Friday Nov. 11. both shops will open only at noon.
Cash or Debit only, and you need to bring your own bags. spend a certain amount and you get a free door prize. what can I say… take it while you can. (note, the retail store takes cash,debit and credit)
How about cooking making supply kits, and other baking supplies that until now were not available at MultiCrafts. They too are in the Clearance Center. You will find storage tins, tissue and wrapping paper,they got it all.
The Retail Outlet not to be out done this week-end for the next three days will have ALL their stamps on sale 25% off. I’ve already been in to check out what I’m going back for.
While I was there, Kim was sorting through a new order of Forever in Time, Art Therapy Stickers.. Talk about being current, there was a very popular crafting tutor, doing a video on a similar produce just a week or so ago… you colour, ink, peel off and use these great sticker designs anyway you want.
Kim was working on a display for you, see what it is all about, the sell a package of 4 sheets for under $3.00. I couldn’t resist, I got the butterfly and flowers.
Your colouring options running low, not to worry, Liz ordered in Gel pen sets, there are a variety and also well priced. Kim was drooling over the bling ones when I left. She was trying to decide between, bold or pastels till she saw the glitter gels. LOL, play tine!!!
Why .. why have I blogged Multicraft Warehouse.. good question.. probably because I really believe that creativity is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Should Crafting, scrapbooking or baking fall into one of your happy zones… This place is a go to place, not only because they have supplies that you won’t find in the big box stores, they have staff who are informed about the products, and are crafters themselves.
Multicrafts & Gifts Store and the Warehouse Clearance Center – are side by side, there is a big parking lot.. so lots of place to park.
2210 Thurston Drive. Ottawa, Ontario…. 1500 sq.ft. of merchandise
Ottawa and area 613- 739-7415
Be a pal to all your creative friends, and pass this along to them, share your passion.. let’s do it, let’s make this the best Daffy Crafty Holiday of the year.
