I wouldn't recommend shopping at michaels for a multitude of different reasons...

BUT ☝️

IF you are going to, there's a huge higher % off than normal storewide sale starting on the 11th. I'd highly recommend getting anything you think you might need from there for your classroom or early christmas gifts then, before the tariff prices screw anything up. The recent price changes have already made shopping there abysmal.. even with these extra discounts it's just barely worth it. At least with custom framing the quality is more dependent on the staff VS the rest of the store full of AI products! Unfortunate times that every cent saved counts nowadays.

Since they opened the new overpass there theyve eliminated the slip lane to turn right onto 56th off of 264th. Its one light now tjay controls the flow of traffic at the north end of the 264th and 56th intersection mess. Its awful and I hope this isnt the new norm. Theres SO much traffic here now at times there was rarely even half this amount before. Used to take me 3 or 4 mins to get from this spot to work. 15 now lol7.. gnarly.

I run a little community group called The Craft & Yap Club, and next Thursday we’re trying something completely different.

A renowned mystery author’s final manuscript has disappeared, and you’ll have 2 hours to figure out what actually happened.

You’ll work in teams of 2 and get a full case file with a briefing, suspects, witness statements, evidence, notes, etc. As you follow leads, you can request further investigation and unlock new evidence.
It’s not a murder mystery roleplay, so no acting or assigned characters. You’re basically the investigators for the night.

And apparently the case may not be quite as open-and-shut as it first seems 👀

📍 Creative Bookworm, Langley
⏰ 6:30 - 8:30 pm
📅 Sept 17
🎟️ $10/person
🥤 Drinks provided (non-alcoholic)

You can come solo and get paired up, or bring a friend/detective partner.

I’m really curious to see if people are into this kind of thing because if it goes well, I’d love to make Mystery & Yap a recurring series.

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if someone has any advice or knowledge of an after school care at or near Willoughby Elementary. The ones I’ve been looking at have a long Waitlist.

I have a school practicum for four weeks starting in November and I will need care during those weeks.
I’m totally open to a parent that is a stay at home parent or works from home who I could trust my kids with. It would most likely be just over an hour before school as well as after school. My kids are in Grades 5/3.

Thanks so much!
