Catching Up with
You and Me

Hello Everyone!

As is often the case, life has kept me away from being able to work on scribbles as much as I had hoped to. My back and neck have been quite sore lately taking me away from sitting at my scribbles desk for my usual marathons. Then there's just life itself. Christmas is a busy time of year and work has been hectic. Add them all up and scribbling was the last thing I felt like doing.

Returning to the drawing board this weekend, I've changed our layout a bit. We now have left and right banner panels with our featured pieces running down the middle of the page. My web host calls those items posted in the side panels "gadgets". With our new format, we've arranged those gadgets for you to find things with greater ease. Scroll up and down, you'll see what we mean.

There's been so much going on with our scribbles friends as we are only days away from Christmas. Becky Lee and her girlfriends went to Cat's Caboose on Friday Dec 10 to see The Figure Four - featuring the "return" of Chris Burnett on guitar. I was supposed to join the gals, but again, because of my back, I stayed home instead (boring!)

My work pal Diane Murray should have lots of photos and tales to share the next time I see her.  She has just returned from a vacation in Florida -which was to include a trip to Disney (where Diane had never been before). We'll have more on this story very soon.

After some unexpected changes in plans, our friend Judy Quiring is now living in Leamington with her lovable dog Hudson. Scribbles sends a huge shout out to Judy and we love you!!

You just never know who you will run into when you are out Christmas shopping. The other day I was at our local mall the Pen Centre, when I saw our pal Tammie Holditch. Tammie works at the mall and was waiting to start her late shift -as the mall was having Moonlight Madness night. One of the things we talked a lot about was scribbles. Tammie may have only been made aware of scribbles a few months ago, but she is already one of our number one fans. Tammie has been busy checking out scribbles archives pages, "There's so many of them" Tammie exclaimed, "you've been doing this for a long time eh?"

How right you are Tammie, I have been scribbling for a while and it's for people like you that I keep on doing it. Thanks so much for all your kind words, that really made my day.

Only minutes after seeing Tammie, I saw my sister Kim Papple. She was at the mall for some shopping and was grabbing a tasty pretzel treat at one of the vendors. Kim and I chatted about how busy we have been at work these days. Well at least we both have jobs eh?  See you at Christmas sis, hope Erin's Christmas Concert is great.
