remember this girl

I was catching up on all the happenings of XFactor [I like to wait until it's all aired then watch it online all at once, I'm not one for suspence].  Although she didn't win, Rebecca Ferguson's audition blew me away.  Love her voice and her style and that she knows what works for her.  Remember her, especially for all of us this side of the pond, she'll be one to watch out for.

steven & chris | the yellow twins

I attended another taping of the Steven and Chris show yesterday with my co-worker Anna.  I guess great minds think alike, since we both showed up at the office wearing yellow.  Oh well, it nabbed us front row seats and the wonderful Steven and Chris remembered me from the Blogger Event and 10 ?s.  Have I mentioned before how down to earth these guys are?  Another great taping with lots of decorating, cooking and beauty goodness!  The taping will air January 10th and you can watch Steven and Chris weekdays on CBC at 2pm or you can check out their site and watch it online [that's what I usually do!]

The art of Christmas Wrapping, this clip never ceases to crack me up.

battle of the blades | the winners

Did anyone else watch the Finale of Battle of the Blades?  The Russian darlings, Katia Gordeeva and Val Bure took the trophy and can I say, I couldn't be happier.  They were absolutely amazing all season - two great and wonderfully kind people, who were a pleasure to meet, partnered each other beautifully.  Congrats to the two charities they were skating for, both obviously near and dear to both skaters - Val skated for Compassion Canada and Katia for Cardiac Kids [please click their links for more on these wonderful charities]- each will be receiving $50,000.  Here's two of my favourite performances from them.  Congrats again and I can't wait for Season 3.
