How she feels about driving for Desert Bus 9:
When not at Desert Bus, she can be found:
Fighting crime, quite literally. I work for the BC Provincial Government seizing assets and proceeds of crime from bad people.

Boo Diddly Blanket! Are you looking for a blanket that will watch you when you sleep? Every time you close your eyes this cuddly blanket will be drawn towards you! Don’t be scared of its smile, it just wants to envelop you in a warm hug.
This blanket was made with over 200 squishy granny squares which were slip stitched together to create a textured “wrong side.” It is so soft and warm that its crafter Marisha constantly had to battle the desire to take a nap once the project was big enough to cover her legs.

Limbo’s a word from theology
To explain its name is just tautology
But sufficive to say
If you don’t behave
You might seek out its etymology
After the jump, we’ve included a selection of runner-up entries for your perusal…
