Happy Canada Day!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Canada celebrated it's 144th birthday yesterday. We went to the Halifax Commons last night where they're holding a Pow Wow all weekend. Had a great time watching all the dancers and the girls got some beautiful beaded earrings and I got a gorgeous necklace and pendant. After we left there, we enjoyed a fantastic fireworks display last night...unfortunately we came across the whole city last night on our way home. It took us about hour and a half to drive home, what should have taken us about 20 minutes. The kiddies were getting pretty tired and fell asleep in the car.

This is a picture coming across the Angus L. MacDonald bridge that links Halifax and Dartmouth. I love it when they put the flags up on it for Canada Day. Unfortunately, they don't leave them up there because of the high winds, it would rip them up in no time.

Here's a close up of our gorgeous flag. :)

We're having a yard sale this morning...recouping a bit of cash to likely put towards more crafty supplies. Made about $50 so far, I see some new Nesties in my future. :)

My apologies for not showing you much in the line of crafty eye candy lately. We've been so busy with end of year activities with the kids, plus I broke my ankle and I've been having a terrible time with it. It's hard to sit on my bar stool at my craft desk since I usually rest my foot on the stool and it doesn't bend that way right now. I'm waiting to get in to see a surgeon since when I broke my ankle, I broke a bone completely off and it just keeps floating around my ankle bone area and it jams in and causes a lot of pain. Nice, eh? Not much fun...I think it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all! lol :) Anyway, I'll try to create something soon to show you.

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)

Happy Canada Day!

I hope everyone had a great Canada Day today. We had a wonderful day here celebrating Canada's 142nd Birthday! :)

We got to the BBQ at my friends house shortly after 4 pm and got to see lots of friends we hadn't seen in a while. The kids had a great time, too, able to play with lots of other kids they'd never met before and they all got along really well. We left there around 7:30 pm and took the girls out to grab a bite to eat since they were complaining that they were hungry. Yes, I know, we just came from a BBQ, but they were too excited to eat and apparently too many new friends to play with to be concerned with eating! lol :) After that, we drove around a little while, grabbed a coffee and headed for the waterfront to watch the fireworks off a barge from the Halifax Harbour. It's been really rainy and foggy here lately, but the rain did let up today and it turned out quite nice, but still overcast. The fireworks were pretty good, but some of the higher fireworks got lost in the low ceiling, but a good show overall and the girls were thrilled with them, so that's all that matters.

These were a couple of pictures that I took going across the Angus L. MacDonald Bridge that joins Halifax and Dartmouth. I thought the big flags were nice and I got a pic of both of them that they had at each peak on the bridge.

This is a picture that I took last year that I thought was pretty, too, with the refection on the mirrored high rise.

I'm so proud to be a Canadian and able to live in such a wonderful, beautiful country! I'll be back soon with something crafty to show you. Stay tuned...

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
