Well it’s been a whirl wind this past  few weeks and it is only two weeks ago, that we hosted our Tinsel & Treats event.  (where did the time go?)      It was an exciting week and it took a few extra hands to make things happen on time, especially when we pulled it off so quickly.  In the end it all worked out thanks to all the help we had.

Our event venue took place at Nurse Chevrolet Cadillac, a beautiful car dealership here in Whitby.  Our focus was to provide more exposure on the promotional services of DURHAMbiz, while providing an opportunity for local business associates to network and to also raise some funds for the Alzheimer Association.  We raised just over $500.00 thanks to the support of guests and client donations towards several raffle draws.

I have to say, I love that car dealership, (especially the red Corvette), however, I also thoroughly enjoyed meeting guests and sharing some varied apps and food I created for this pretty venue.  I am very grateful to Mary Nurse for sharing her facility and allowing us to host our venue there and for her generous donation of 3 great door prizes and assistance with the gift bags.  A big thank you also goes out to Dave Hooper, one of our awesome suppliers.  He was showcasing special food gifts (gourmet nuts, chocolates and more!)  Dave also represents gift ware for any occasion, from small gadgets, to high end corporate gifts and special staff appreciation items.  If you are needing anything, you can contact us or him directly and just mention DURHAMbiz.

Because of the crazy last few weeks, cleaning up, organizing and other tasks, I am late in posting our food pics.  We had too much food of course.  It was not long, however, before we all dug into the yummy grub at the office and shared left over appetizers and more with others nearby.

Okay, what day is it already? Oh gosh, here we are Nov 26 and I guess we have to start thinking about the holiday season, food, decorating and more! I guess I’m a little late. J Many started early November.  Like many other folks,  this time of year can feel more stressful because we expect too much, so I’m going to try and take it one day at a time.  I might even do something very different for Christmas or Boxing Day. We shall see what crazy ideas I can discover to make a gathering of friends fun and carefree.

The main focus is to  ‘MAKE THE TIME’ to spend it with family, friends and loved ones.  (Oh and some good wine of course for the host). J  Wine helps in the celebration or creativity while cooking.

Wishing everyone a wonderful December and celebration of life and all that is dear to us at Christmas time.

All the best,
