Canada Post Strike Over (245)

Update!! The Canada Post strike is officially over, we (Canadians) should start to be receiving our goodies in the mail come Tuesday afternoon of this week!!

Here’s a good article I found regarding the update.

Thanks to Monica from Totally Tea as I have my order pending with her to be shipped and she is shipping it Canada Post (I emailed asking her for another method of shipping to ensure it’s arrival and she said that the Strike is over so thus shipping it the standard way) – YAY!! Thanks for the good news Monica :)) I’m super happy now!

What a nice way to start off my Monday.

I do realize there will be a huge backlog of mailing that’s been sitting for the last week or so so please be patient with your Postal Workers they are doing their job and we will get our goodies soon!!

Happy Monday all!

Canada Post Strike (244)

Well ladies, this isn’t a post I want to do but thought I should get this info out there for everyone to know and be aware of as the time is starting near when I bundle up your block of the month kits for another month…but with this full strike there won’t be any mailing happening soon 🙁

From what I hear (local Post office said yesterday as well as my dh heard on the news yesterday) the union went into “talks” again on Monday…but if the Government orders them back work they have 72 hours so another 3 days before that happens…

Here’s the latest video clip I’ve found saying the back to work order was tabled, how frustrating for the small business’s of Canada.

If you have any insight for me, I’d appreciate the heads up!!

Thanks everyone.

Sew for Issue 2 you’re in luck as it’s pretty much just as great as Issue 1 with more recipes, tantalizing photos, and inspiration..She’s gone and done it – made an awesome magazine…

Here’s your preview, thread that looks like you could just take it off the page…

This Raspberry Crumble makes my mouth water..yummy!

More inspiring photos…this octagonal english paper piecing looks like an awesome project…ooooh I must remember to save a copy for myself this round 🙂

Until next time, stay happy, make a good recipe and be creative…Valerie
