Perfect!<br /><br />It was -25 last night so I haven't braved that sauna still and I'm running out of time! <br /><br />I hope your New Year is right on track...bringing you and Karma everything you would need and want! :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-13166156942421155842013-01-04T04:00:46.792+00:002013-01-04T04:00:46.792+00:00Apologies for my delay in replying to your comment...Apologies for my delay in replying to your comment Margaret,<br />I've been too busy enjoying what will be my last few days here in winter wonderland! <br />Yep we're to leave -25 degrees and head back to Oz for +39 degrees!!!<br />Have you any ideas on how we will manage without melting?<br /><br />I hope your New Year has started well and just gets better with each day.

I didn't realise that you'd actually lost me, but I'm really happy that you've found me again! ;D<br />I had similar things happen to me where all of a sudden it would occur to me that I hadn't seen a post from a particular blog for some time and I'd have to go in and look for it. <br />I'm not sure why or how that happens but it does from time to time. <br /><br />Anyway, no harm done and here we are...so I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that your New Year has started well. Let's hope it just gets better with each day and ends up being the best one yet with lots of creativity thrown in! <br /><br />See you soon...I want to check out your cool changes ;DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-4698169332007465282013-01-04T03:37:00.772+00:002013-01-04T03:37:00.772+00:00You are a sneaky bunny Sandee, I never thought of ...You are a sneaky bunny Sandee, I never thought of that...I've been flinging myself down the mountain all for nothing when all the time I could have been in the bar!

I've felt confused myself at times over the last few weeks with such differences. It's all been very surreal. I'm not sure what we were thinking when we decided to come to a Canadian winter from an Australian summer. <br />Last night the temperature here plummeted to -25 whilst in Melbourne it reached +39! How bizarre is that?<br /><br />We have had such a wonderful time here though...it's been like a picture perfect Christmas card wonderland. I've never seen such beautiful snow, scenery and the goregously decorated houses and buildings. <br /><br />Unfortunately we will be leaving soon and I'm wondering how we will cope with the transition. I don't think we could have picked further contrasted if we'd have tried.<br /><br />I hope your New Year has started well and just gets better each day. :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-57306920551569905982013-01-03T04:14:56.676+00:002013-01-03T04:14:56.676+00:00Love the moon pic!!

But you have us beat up there in the snow department this winter so far. What a gorgeous spot you have in the woods there. <br /><br />I'd pass on the skiing. I can't even stand up on ice skates and fared no better on skis. Fun to sit in the chalet, though, by the fire and read a good book. ;) <br /><br />The sauna is beckoning you!!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-45576531686301026602012-12-31T21:29:20.002+00:002012-12-31T21:29:20.002+00:00Fabulous photos, Neesie.

It looks so cute! As for skiing, it's highly over rated while being a snow bunny takes a lot of talent...so just look good in the nice warm ski lodge...pretend you've been out there in that cold weather! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)SandeeNChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835920831404996017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-11174014644988137602012-12-30T19:08:06.472+00:002012-12-30T19:08:06.472+00:00Wow Neesie, you had me confused for a moment... I&...Wow Neesie, you had me confused for a moment... I've heard of climate change, but had to do a double take to make sure you weren't getting heavy snowfalls in Australia in the middle of the summer lol lol!! It all looks absolutely gorgeous... Hope you are having a really great time. Here in the UK we've got rain, rain and yet more rain... we are all heartily sick of it, and feel so much for all those people who've been flooded out.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment. I've edited the step-outs for my new pattern somewhat, because as it stood, it was not acceptable on the Tangle Patterns site because it had construction grids that needed erasing, but hopefully it will be more acceptable now. Whatever happens, I feel very excited at having designed my first tangle!! You should give it a go - your drawings are awesome.<br /><br />Happy new year.<br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-73999047503082573312012-12-30T14:31:35.540+00:002012-12-30T14:31:35.540+00:00To put it politely Mark...'ON YOUR BIKE'!!...To put it politely Mark...'ON YOUR BIKE'!!!<br />If I'd have to do that, then the sauna won't see me anytime soon ;D<br /><br />I can only just make out the lake or I assume it's the lake because that's where it used to be. <br />The snow is so deep on the path down to the lake (in fact everywhere) that we'd have to attach safty lines if we wanted to risk getting down there. Full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) would be in order! ;D<br /><br />Have a great New Year celebration.

The reports are that Friday could dip to -24 but then that's here of course. <br /><br />Your skiing adventure sounds similar to my first one in Austria many years ago...but is still very vivid in my memory! ;D<br />We'll have to exchange stories one day or maybe I should post mine as it's all within the theme at the moment. It certainly would give everyone a laugh! <br /><br />I'm not sure when you travel but I wish you a safe journey.<br />Take care xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-43216483472556049402012-12-30T13:55:34.363+00:002012-12-30T13:55:34.363+00:00Morning Laurie,

I don't think it'll be going anywhere until at least April!!! ;D<br /><br />It's surreal to think that we are nearer each other now and experiencing the same weather, after chatting for so many months from the other side of the world.<br />Lots of skiing and especially the double session of night time skiing last night (but not for me) seems to have taken its toll on the bodies...it's all very quiet here this morning! It's hard work for the young and fit!!!<br /><br />After some visiting I think I may have a play with my new art supplies. There's only one page of the journal touched so far.<br />I have to confess I'm missing the birds and wildlife...I've only seen three crows and 'Nutkin' since I got here.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day in your nest my little chickadee. Stay cosy and warm and I'll pop over to you soon. :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-7868600121031522082012-12-30T08:43:57.041+00:002012-12-30T08:43:57.041+00:00If you have the sauna, don't forget that you a...If you have the sauna, don't forget that you are then supposed to flagellate yourself with birch twigs and plunge into a lake through a hole in the ice... :)Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-24789535517113161482012-12-30T08:27:44.482+00:002012-12-30T08:27:44.482+00:00Brrr....I'll be tasting some of that cold weat...Brrr....I'll be tasting some of that cold weather shortly.
