I actually started craving some as soon as you mentioned it, so I suppose that one is going on the grocery list for this afternoon. <br /><br />How cool--meeting people from other places. I think that's one of the things I like most about living in a tourist area. With Disney at our back door there are a ton of unique people and cultures in our neighborhood. <br /><br /><a href="http://crystalcollier.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Unleashing the Dreamworld</a>Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672627032139097381.post-55773262257706602472014-11-24T13:04:45.273-05:002014-11-24T13:04:45.273-05:00*are* not *area* :-)*are* not *area* :-)Caryn Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338655819410392107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672627032139097381.post-28043299539843084602014-11-24T13:04:16.865-05:002014-11-24T13:04:16.865-05:00Oh, wow!

I'm still super impressed that you can turn a heel. <br /><br />And you'll be happy to hear that we got a cold snap. It dipped down to below 55 degrees. I had to find actual pants to wear. This is not what I signed up for. But yeah, snow right before Christmas is lovely. After that...not so much. :)<br /><br />Hope you have a great week!

I think I really, really need to start doing that with my WIP. It's tough to plow ahead when the story isn't shaping up to be as grand as it is in your head. I'm going to stick that losing sight of the book for the words metaphor somewhere I can see it because that's a great way to put it!<br /><br />That's incredible that you got asked to make masks for a movie! Seriously cool! I hope you'll reveal which movie when it's all done because I'd love to check out your handiwork on the screen!<br /><br />I'm super jealous that you're making water gardens these days. We're covered in snow and it's freezing cold. Is there such thing as an ice garden? Have fun with all your many projects this week, Kris! :)<br /><br />Erin L.

Woohoo! :D But seriously, after seeing your Halloween headdress, I was completely blown away by your talent. (Though, who am I kidding? That's been the case for ages now.) Can't wait to see pics of the new and improved guest house once it's done too.<br /><br />It's so crazy to me every time I hear about how warm it still is where you live. I mean, you're "mucking about with water lilies" and we're mucking about with snow. Bleh. LOL. Though, I <i>do</i> love me some snow in the weeks leading up to Christmas. ;-)<br /><br />I kind of like this Bedlandia thing. I might have to make this a thing around here too!
