YAY!

It's a New Year!  A year to appreciate the little blessings in life that make it so AWESOME!

 

1.  Check out the Sea Wall before the warm temps melt away all of the ice.  Feel free to ignore the little sign that says "the seawall is closed".  Everyone else is. hahaha

2.  Print out some of those digital photographs that have been sitting on your hard-drive for eons.

3.  Purchase Christa Black's EP from her Myspace Page.  (i can't think of what the address is, but you can find it by clicking on the YellowSparkler link on my subscriptions list a la gauche).  Sing out loud (like no one's listening).

4.  Savour and sample cabernet sauvignon's from different countries.  (I did that last year, and will continue my adventure this year).  If you haven't already, South Africa, Chile, and of course France(Cote du Rhone or Bordeaux) are countries that you shouldn't miss!

5.  Splurge on some loose leaf tea.  mmmmmmmmm...pair it with fruit or chocolate!

6.  Take your mom on a date for no particular reason!

7.  Give some extra lovin to your pets...and take photos!

8.  Get together with someone you haven't had time for in a long time.

9.  Watch a re-run on TV. reminisce. repeat.

10.  Crunch in the remnants of snow when walking.

11.  Be random!

 

...there we go, some recommendations, a plug for a great album, and other ditties that make me smile!  Cheers!

BEST BOSS EVERRRRR!!!

Oh My GOODNESS gracious ME OH MY!

 

My Boss is Santa Claus.  THE Santa Claus.  I'm his helper running PHOTOS with SANTA at Oakridge Centre all the way until Christmas Eve!

This isn't a job for everyone.  My cheeks actually hurt from smiling.  But, I feel so accomplished from getting a baby to smile...from getting a kid to stop crying! It's brutally rewarding. HAHAHAHAH

It's great.

when I can tell a parent that I got an AWESOME shot of their kid.  Today, this baby had her first Santa pic and I got the BESTEST smile out of her and I felt great. Mom was off-the-wall.

If you come to visit Santa this year...a little FYI

Tuesday-Saturday Santa is skinnier (and a little better with the youngin's) than Sunday-Monday Santa. Our bigger one can be a little more intimidating.   

I usually work (though it will change) Monday, Wednesday (afternoon), Friday, and Saturday.

 

k BYE! and wave when u walk by, cuz i can't exactly scream out yer name when i see you mall shopping.

You'd Better Not Cry

I'm telling you why.

 

 

Santa Claus is coming to town!

 

 

November 11th, LIGHTS ARE UP! We couldn't wait.  I'm feelin extra festive this year, because of the job I'll be working at Oakridge Centre.  I'll be the Assistant Manager running Photos with Santa this year.

 

Also, the semester is quickly winding up, group work insanity is continuing, and I'm still developing my mini-business venture/experiment.

 

Visit Bondfire Boutique.  This is my school project that I'm still working on making prettier as I figure out html.  My business venture is to work with recent art/design grads to give them opportunities to get exposure and sales opportunities for their fashion lines.

I've teamed up with Megan Dunn and Ann Cockfield's Damsel Funk Designs to start.  I'm offering several pieces from their debut line and am targeting customers in warmer States.  In my class, I'm learning tricks and tools to drive traffic to websites. 

Their designs are great.  They feature funky, earth-friendly versatile designs working with all recycled materials to create fun colourful skirts, tops, shorts, bags, and head wraps for like-minded women.

Megan and Ann are beginning to showcase their Fall line and are gearing up to have a Spring 07 line by January.  Damsel Funk Designs are being sold in several small boutiques on Salt Spring Island and on Bondfire Boutique. 

Contact me for more information.

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Janine
