We've just finished celebrating Thanksgiving here in Canada - while I'm always partial to Christmas, there is something so special about this holiday, a chance to get together, reflect on our blessings, share a lovely meal, funny stories, family games and lots of laughter.
It's far too easy to get caught up in the hussle and bustle of it all and the limited personal challenges we have that it's astounding when you look around and take the time to realise how much everything is going right, and how wonderful and exhilarating life is, just to be a part of it.


I've really, really appreciated all your comments over the past few weeks - thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and making this blog so much fun to write! A very special thank you also, to Farfallina and Mocca & Me for the Kreativ blogger award - I was so excited to be included in your choices. In the spirit of Kreativ bloggers, here are a few things you may not know about me...

- I went to school at an all girls Catholic Convent for thirteen years (run by German nuns, no less!)
- I live for cheese (I swear I'm part mouse) and olives (my dad and I have shared an entire jar on a car ride home before!)
- I'm terrified of chickens, especially roosters - they attacked me when I was five.
- I don't eat eggs. At all. I've always hated them - I really wish I liked them, everyone else seems to, but they make me gag everytime. (Perhaps a chicken connection?)
- Growing up I was a little obsessed with Princess Diana, and met her when she visited Zimbabwe. Thankfully she was unaware of my Majesty reading, photo collecting, stalkerish twelve year old tendencies...
- I was a soloist in the school choir when I was much younger. These days I keep my singing to myself or the pets, mainly as a public service to everyone else...
- I know the words to just about every Disney song. Seriously, you can test me!

Now it's my turn to pass it on to some other lovely blogs...
- Plush Palate-
- Apt #34-
- Avante Garde-
- Gathering Spriggs-
-Chichi and Luxe-
-SimplySeductive-
-automatism-


As a big thank you to all readers of A Life More Fabulous, I'll be giving away a beautiful set of Thank You notes from Linda & Harriett. Gorgeous, thick letter press cards with beautiful calligraphy by my favourite calligrapher, Jenna Hein. A really lovely way to surprise someone you know with a card to let them know you appreciate them, or just because...

Hope your week's off to a great start!
