It was not to be…

Posted by DeAnna

Well, here we are, a new day, and this house is sad. Our beloved Canucks lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, but even more, the city was taken over by hooligans who decided before the game even started that they would cause chaos, win or lose. Vancouver burned, glass was shattered, stores looted, people were beaten… I could go on, but I won’t. It was horrible to watch and I am glad our family was safe here at home in Maple Ridge and not caught downtown in that mess. A mob mentality took over and ruined what had been a beautiful, celebratory crowd. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before (1994), but this time was worse.

On a good note, though, people are being responsible and sending in video footage and photos they took to the police and to pages on Facebook and a whole lot of people showed up in downtown Vancouver yesterday morning to help with the cleanup. I am still proud to live in the lower mainland and to support my team, win or lose.

In crafting related news, I have another class coming up at Precious Memories next Thursday, Flower Frenzy Level 2. Should be a great class and lots of fun! I believe there’s still room, but again, Flower Frenzy Level 1 sold out the first time and this is the first run for Level 2, so if you’ve been thinking of taking it, call or go in and sign up! The contact info is at the bottom of the page in the link.

I promise to post a craft project soon – it’s been crazy around here lately!
