bargain. $5 ice figure skates.

I got a bargain deal. $5 for a pair of skates! It cost me more then that to sharpen them for the weekends festivities. Another whole $7.

It's been SO cold in Ontario these last few days. I went skating last night and it was the epitome of what Canadians are all about.

My neighbours have a farm, and this winter they have slaved away at making a rink in their field. They have created a homemade outdoor hockey rink, with a scoreboard made out of 2 by 4's, plywood and nails, flood lights, boards surrounding the rink, and a big old open farm land field.

Looking down rink, you saw the score net, the plywood sign, the flood lights illuminating the rink, reflections off the sparkle in the snow, snow flakes slowly fluttering softly down towards the ice, and 6 foot tall men, skating, pumping their legs up and down the rink shovelling the few inches of snow that accumulated within the first 15 minutes since we had last cleared the rink.

This was the epitome of Canadian winter. Thus I was inspired. I went home and created sparkles, silver, white, grey, all things beautiful and snow and crisp necklaces. Layered with all types of different chains and beads that sparkle and shone that matched the night time sky and the sparkle white crisp snow. I have a show this saturday, and valentines day is coming up! So stay tuned this week for some updates on the website, www.GotHattitude.com, for your mama, girlfriend, sister, or friend!

Here's me and a friend venturing out in the -25 degree weather yesterday!

It's great people are so in to giving unique one-of-a-kind gifts. Those are always my favourite to receive and GIVE!

We still do not have our Christmas tree yet this year...I can't wait to go get it and make the house smell like Christmas!

I asked for a one piece snowsuit this year for Christmas, yes that is correct I did say a one piece. It's snowing here, and there is a light dusting of snow still coating the ground. Maybe the cat will like to go for a walk in the snow? Probably not, since she hates getting her little paws cold.

I still only have one gift for Christmas. Nothing is speaking to me to buy for anyone this year. I pride myself on being something of a gift whisperer....and so far...nata this year. I gotta get crackin' if I want to get some good stuff for people!

Happy Holidays! And Happy Shopping!

If your lookin' for a good place to get some hot chocolate while your out and about C-mas shopping...I've searched high and low, and STILL the best place to grab a cup is second cup...forget starbucks, or tim hortons...second cup is by far the best place to get hot chocolate!
