A lot of retailers on the north side of the border have gotten into the Black Friday spirit in the last few years and there are deals to be had here too.....but they are generally specials that last a whole week. They are usually pretty good bargains, offering a good 20% to 30 % off everything in store (or online) with some stores doing decent door crasher deals, but, for the most part, hours are generally the same as any other day. (Though, that might be different in some of the big cities.) We tend to get a little crazier with our Boxing Day sales up here, though still nothing along the lines of Black Friday. Would love to hear about your Black Friday experience if you're willing to share!
Trying to come up with a decent segue has failed me, so, here's my card.....
And here's my card again.....
Yep, when I saw this image that had to be done. It's one of the three digis from the Cute and Clumsy Elves set. As you can see it's an interactive card coz if you are going to come in like a wrecking ball you better a least look like you're capable of wrecking something.
Do make sure you go check out the other fabulous Fabby Friday makes the rest of the DT has come up with. You can see 'em all right here.

As You Like It: fave Christmas colours - I'll admit, my fave is the traditional red & green. While I do like to use non-traditional colours for holiday cards too, nothing says Christmas like red & green. I usually avoid red & green together unless it's for Christmas.

Oh my gosh!!! What a great card and the sentiment just cracked me up. I don't get this whole Black Friday thing either (that started after I moved abroad). The name sounds so negative to me and really, it all just seems too much; it turns me off. Thanks to glorious anything-to-make-a-dime (ou dix centimes) globalisation we're having Black Friday here, too. And they don't even change the name! They use the English words. I just find that insulting. The stores don't open any earlier or anything like that, but there are some good promotions (they can't use the word 'sale', sales are mandated by law and only happen twice a year here) and I purchased some t-shirts and things my husband likes for 50% off online (because the online site sent me an email to tell me about it). No way though, would I be getting up early and fighting for deals in a store. I'm just not that big a shopper. I'd rather buy just what I really need online. I've done some major clean out in my house (and am still doing) and the last thing I want is more stuff.
