Friday Fave Five

Hosted by Susanne, go here to join in!


1) Secret Pal package: I received my second secret swap pal package this week. It had some wonderfully soft yarn, a good book, along with some coloured pencils and notebook. It made me happy just to rub the soft yarn on my cheek. :)


2) Mountains: The North Shore Mountains look so pretty all covered in snow.

3) White Christmas: We might have a white Christmas this year. Or as close as we've had in a long time. It's supposed to snow on Sunday and be very cold for the following week. With temps in the zero and below range any snow we get won't be melted before Christmas. Ohhhh, so pretty!

4) Knitting Progress: I finished the Swiffer cover for my friend. I'm at the point in my top-down sweater where the arms have been separated. Seeing progress encourages me to keep knitting more. (Haven't had much time to do that lately.)

5) Presents: I've finishing all the gift shopping and I only have one more gift to wrap.

And one bonus:

6) My nephew: I spent a bunch of time with my sister and 7 1/2 month old nephew yesterday. He is trying to "walk"! If you hold his hands he moves his feet and "walks". He's too young to pull himself to an upright position, but his mom better watch out when he does learn! He has also learned to crawl but can only go backwards! Silly boy! :P

Fab Five for Friday

So it appears that I like memes. Here's another one: Fab Five for Friday. Here's the info:

"It's very simple. Just list your favorite five things from the week. It can be anything from jokes to music to food. It's a fun way to get to know more about each other and maybe make new friends, find new blogs or new things to try. Expand our world's a bit. Make it as detailed as you like, but the more detail the more fun! Don't forget to link to this site and sign the Mr. Linky so I can come and read your favorites."

Go to Living to tell the Story to sign-up or for more info.

1) Blueberry Crumb Bars My friend made these with blackberries and it tasted great. I plan to make some with blackberries that I can pick from the bushes behind my work.

2) This cool quote I came across on someone's blog. "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right." Henry Ford

3) Mountain Dew Cupcakes Another cool recipe that I came across by way of this blog. Such good pictures of sweets I'm surprised my keyboard doesn't have drool on it!

4) Help end world hunger by playing a game at http://www.freerice.com/ (I'm not sure if this is actually true, but its a fun game none the less. And if it really does help I think that's awesome!)

5) The "I Am so you don't have to be" on-line blog bible study. Did you know there was such a thing as an on-line bible study? I didn't. I haven't read this yet, but I want to.

In case you don't see the common thread, these are the top 5 things I found on the net this week. If you find yourself playing because you found this on my blog please let me know I'd love to read your Fab Five!
