Tis the season of giving! The malls are packed with shoppers. The parking lots are full. And people are scurrying around trying to find gifts for their family and friends.

On Sunday I attended a fun wreath making workshop, with Robson Street and Botany And Co at the large, stunning CB2 store #OnRobson. The only Christmas crafting and DIY projects I’ve ever really done have been mainly geared towards kids. I was an Early Childhood Educator for many years, so needless to say, I prepped […]

In short, a portion of our ‘extra’ funds […]

I’ve been to a few of these parties and it’s always so funny to see how creative people get with their tacky sweaters. In fact, last year I attended a party, and someone had tinsel and Christmas […]
