It seems Christmas is coming quickly! I am so happy to share my latest happenings, as its been a busy few months.
Christmas Ornaments
It is that time of year, and my 2025 Christmas Ornament, “The Place to Meet for a Christmas Treat,” featuring Hanks Pastries, has already sold out. I currently have two designs available, so please check my Facebook page for more information.
Santa’s Float Fundraiser
I’ve partnered with the North Durham Chamber and my design, “Santa Visits Port Perry,” is helping to support the repair of our local Santa’s Christmas Float. Ten percent, of each individual purchase of this design, goes to help to support this cause. I’ll also be outside the Latcham Centre, during the Christmas Tree Lighting, on Friday, November 28th, starting at 4 p.m., selling these designs and more, as part of the Christmas Market.
Christmas Workshops
I have two “Paint Your Own Christmas Ornament” Workshops coming up, at our local St. John’s Presbyterian Church, on Saturday, December 6th and Saturday, December 13th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. You’ll be able to pick from a Christmas Tree design or Christmas Cottage. Call me to sign up, as space is limited.
Art a la Carte
I was fortunate enough to have my piece, “The Places We Remember,” accepted in to the Art a la Carte program, at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario building, in Toronto. It will be on display with other Ontario artists, for a year, starting in 2026.
Station Gallery
A special Thanks to Station Gallery, for featuring the Port Perry Artists Association, this month. Another special thank you to my friend Brad Dusto, for organizing the show.

Really enjoyed reading your post — it’s refreshing to see someone explain tech topics so clearly. I’ve been exploring different tools lately for better PC analysis, and I came across https://bottleneckcalculator.us.com/ which helped me understand performance ratios more easily. The site breaks down things in a simple way, which is great for non-technical users like me. Your blog and that tool complement each other really well. Thanks for sharing such helpful content, keep it up!
Great article! You always break down concepts clearly.
The BottleneckCalculator System Speed Guide helps users understand factors affecting overall speed.
It covers both hardware and performance behavior.
Learning these basics improves long-term system health.
Your blog content supports these educational aspects.
Keep up the great work.
