Remember this game Dark Castle?  Loved it, was really good at it.  Reminisce with some screenshots here.

Picked up my friend, in he got and handed me that red & white box.

Inside was THIS – a Specially-Handmade-Just-for-Me-Little–Canadian–Explorer!

That’s what I look like as a toy!  Can you tell I’m excited?!?  And see the burger?  It had to be made from scratch… “there’s no mold?”, “No Keri, there’s no Big Mac mold”.

On the right is the artist’s signature, Liam of 2 Petal Rose over in England. Liam I love my little me, thanks.

But a far bigger thank you to YOU my friend, best   gift   ever. xo

Here’s some neat things that might not make, “Exploring Diamonds”:

Top left is that very sensitive scale I told you about yesterday, and top right is called a “rifka” – a 2-ply piece of paper folded in a special way that you carry your diamonds around in.  Big stones get their own rifka and little stones get grouped together in one.  

I find it funny that’s how a diamond gets carted all over the world… until the consumer gets it, houses it in a special box that’s often velvet-lined, and maybe has a lock.

The painting on the bottom is depicting the diamond industry and I don’t understand all the nuances and allusions, but it’s nice and colourful eh.

And there’s Keith and Al, friends and diamond guys for 25+ years.  Hi fellas!

Dwayne and I met where we met and see top right?  That’s a book he made dedicated to me and my Blog Party and it says ‘Keri, The Canadian Explorer’ on the cover.  So pumped. 

And you know how I said he had a surprise for me?  It was that he’d already secured the first raffle prize of the night yesssss.

We’re going to do some more investigating into possible venues (I’m still kinda stuck on this one), I have to draw up the guest list (which’ll be basically “Dear Internet, You’re Invited) and the date we’re looking at is *tentatively* November 12.  I also gotta get some sort of drink sponsor so at the very least, the first drink is on me.  

Bottom right is my ponytail looking the best it has in a while.
