The food I made was a hit!! Tears were shed, plates were licked and a celebration of life was had. I took a few pictures of Julius and his family and friends.<br />

That's Julius with his family goofing around. That on the far right is Lorraine! Remember I mentioned her earlier, the one that keeps giving me kisses and hopes I will take her when I leave? Oh but she's adorable though. And Julius's sisters are just so awesome!! I loved meeting the rest of the family and they seemed to enjoy my company. After the initial shock of realizing what an odd looking fella I was. </div>

I got to meet one of the greatest men alive, Julius's dad Jonathan!! He is very well spoken, gentle and very, very wise!! Everyone goes to him for advice and he always has the right things to say. That's him with that pesky Lorraine draped all over him. Granted he is her grandpa, but she's in every picture!...oh but I still love her!</div>

Teeheehee! You better believe it! I'd rather stand in this thorn bush than get one more kiss!! Ouchie! Ok maybe that's drastic! Off to find Lorraine now...</div>

We are preparing for a party and we have been running around trying to get things done. Right now I have to figure out the ideal place the cooking will get done. We are going with the three stone setting you see here. It's best for big pots and cooking for masses. Oh you wouldn't believe the things I've learned here. Who would've thought I'd be cooking meals in big pots on bricks?! Awesome!! it's like camping, only better! The fact that I get to do it outside in great weather is just epic!<br />

Will this be it? Hmmm! I can't decide. We've used this spot before. I'm using it now to warm up some tomatoes. I will then add some maple syrup, blend them and make an awesome soup!! It tastes better than it sounds. Yummy!!</div>

Found it! This is a better spot!! It's a little hidden away from prying eyes and I can put my culinary skills to good use without people peeking at what I'm making. I'm frying up some onions to make a chicken curry!! Yum. I have to be careful though. It's very easy for me to fall into the pot or step on a hot log! ..or worse, fall into the fire! Ouch!! Hmm I need more firewood!</div>

Gotta make sure that the outdoor bathroom and latrine are kept clean before everyone gets here. I definitely, had to get used to the latrine. Never seen anything like it back home. That's because I haven't gone camping yet. A little fella like me could easily fall into one. </div>

Did I tell you all that this party is actually to celebrate the life of Julius's brother Jack? He was a wonderful man that left us way too soon! He will be missed tremendously. Sob! Sob! Sorry, didn't mean to get you all sad too. </div>

Gotta make sure the dog, Wewa, is fed and comfortable. He will be staying in his kennel when the crowds come over just so that he doesn't nip at anyone. He's very friendly but tends to nip when provoked and as we know kids tend to do that! Can you see him behind me? There's a good boy!!</div>

Hedges are trimmed and path is swept. Now the lovely Lorraine, Julius's beautiful niece thinks it's a runway! Look at her!! Lorraine is so sweet! She has a crush on me teeheehee! She's trying to convince me to marry her and take her with me when I leave. She says she's never met anyone like me before...Pssst, I wonder if she's noticed I'm a little monster? Teeheehee! If she kisses me one more time....</div>

Time to open the gates and let the people make their way in. Teeheehee I may need help with this one. Meanwhile I will just swing a little on it until Julius comes down to help me. Who knew gates can be so comfy to sit on?</div>

Toodles...I better go get everything finalized before the family gets here. I wonder if any of them have seen Bilbert? We'll soon find out. </div>

The locals speak a language called Kamba and i'm getting an ear for it. I've even learned a few phrases that come in handy. Like "uka vaa" which means 'come here'. For some reason people keep calling me to check me out. I guess I'm odd looking enough to arise curiosity. The kids follow me around, which I think is very funny. Atleast they're helpful. Another word is "ya!"! Which means "eat". Everyone one is constantly trying to feed me. I'm starting to get a little rounder. Short and rotund has never been a good description of anyone! Anyway I wanted to show you guys a few of my farm animals.<br>

This here is Kasau the little calf who's a little bashful and camera shy. She's very playful once she gets to know you. She even lets me ride her...So much fun!! Can you see the white heart shape on her forehead?? Isn't that so coolest thing ever???!!! Kasau eats a ton though. I guess that's why she's growing so fast!!</div>

We're having a little chat here! Kasau thinks I should give her napier grass instead. We are saving that kind of grass for the drier season. I guess it tastes sweeter than the regular grass. It has a very pleasant smell too!!</div>

This big one is Kalombe and as you can see she's a very suspicious one. She looks at me like I'm up to no good..or maybe she's just curious granted I look a tad odd to her. She's getting a little skinny. We are hoping for some rains soon so hopefully the grass gets longer, greener and yummier! Kalombe is tethered because she has a tendency to wander around and nibble on crops in my garden. Oh you should have seen my corn the last time she got loose! Disaster!! She has the cutest moo too. Oh how I love it when she moos!! Mooooving along...</div>

Here I'm standing by the chicken coup! I'm just about to let them out. I prefer to have them wander around and let them scratch and peck their way through life. They seem to enjoy that even more than leaving them in the coup and feeding them grain. I just toss them some grain on the go as they scratch and peck the ground. They seem to chat as they do this. Sometimes I think one says a joke as they all cluck cluck cluck at the same time and then continue on their merry way. They're quite an amusing lot!<br>

This is Nzamba the ring leader!! The rest of the hens seem to follow his command! They seem to go where he goes and listen to every word he says!! Oh I asked them if they've seen Bilbert anywhere but their simultaneously cluck clucking and head shaking was a clear indication that they hadn't. I'm getting very frustrated! Oh where could Bilbert be?<br>

It's a beautiful day!! The views from Kilome are incredible. The village is up on a hill and you can see far and wide!! You can actually see Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya on a clear day. Oh how I love it here!! Julius said I can even build a house on his land!! Isn't that just generous of him??!!<br />

Isn't that a beautiful view!! And check out the lovely blue sky!! Such a beautiful day!!! I'm eyeing every bush to see if perhaps Bilbert might pop out of it. I wonder if he is in Kilome?<br />

It doesn't help that they both look so sad!! That's the downside of my travels! I fall in love with each family and it just makes it that much harder to leave! But this is not goodbye, but see you later. I will be back to visit them with Bilbert! I just need to find him first. I've looked everywhere in London! I thought I'd find him at the party, or maybe admiring the bridge or just walking around but I didn't. I have to keep looking!!<br />

Sob! I'm just standing outside to take in a little fresh air and compose myself! It's hard being in there. The reality of my departure just set in...and who knew Nathalee was so dramatic!! She threw herself on the ground and was kicking and screaming uncontrollably. Deanell just sobs silently and looks so sad! It just breaks my heart!! Sob! Sob!! I just don't want to leave..<br />

This little one came to say goodbye too. He couldn't eat pizza but sure had a good nibble on my ears! It tickled a lot and we had a good laugh. I'm not sure why everytime I laugh people think it's hilarious! Even this little guy had a good giggle!</div>

Check out my ride to the airport!! I didn't want Nathalee to drive me. She just seems so emotional today and it's harder to say goodbye at airports!! Plus this way, I can tour the city one last time as we drive to Heathrow Airport. My flight to Kenya leaves at 0100hr!!! I love you Nathalee! I love you Deanell!! I'll email you guys soon ..keep an eye out for Bilbert will you?!</div>

Isn't that the prettiest building you've ever laid eyes on? Ironically it's the exact design I had in mind for the house I intend to build for myself some day! I'll have to find the architect and have a talk with him!<br />

Look at the London Bridge Hospital right behind me!! It's structure is incredible. Oh what a wonderful view one would have from inside!! I do pity the poor people laying inside, but at least they have a beautiful and hopefully calming view... I'm sending healing vibes to them. I suggest you do too!!</div>

Aaah! With a name like that you'd think the queen takes her walk here every day right? Wrong! It's just a pedestrian walkway that goes a few miles! I did look around hopefully though you never know if the queen would saunter over in my general direction. Although Deanell told me that Nathalee and her friend Nikki have a restraining order and can not be within 100ft of her vicinity! Twas something about them almost knocking down her perambulator with George in it!! teeheehee! That drastically reduces my chances of seeing and chatting with said Queen! I will have to ask Nathalee for details later! As for her friend Nikki, I hope to meet her someday after all the wild stories I've heard about her!<br />

......And we're still dancing, but observe the beautiful view behind me!! Don't concentrate on the pained look I have on my face from that firm grip...good grief! I might need a hip replacement after this dance! She's not shy I can tell you that! Lots of people were staring at us!! I'm just glad she didn't twerk! ...and now I can't even believe I uttered that word!..in my acquired British accent none the less. That will be my first and last time! Note to self..stay away from the media!! On the up side..A couple of people asked for my autograph! Am I getting popular then?</div>

Look at that!! How do I look? Patriotic I suppose! Don't worry, I'm still Canadian at heart and I still have my Canadian passport! I have to say my family back home will be astonished to hear how British I sound. I may settle here some day. Nathalee and Deanell said I can stay with them any day! Infact, they don't want me to leave at all. Nathalee now fondly calls me "Willy British"...and might I mention she's the only one allowed to call me that!!</div>

These flowers look like tiny yellow birds flying around. So vibrant aren't they?! Flowers always give you a whole new outlook on life especially at this time of year!! I wish the winter would end soon for my family in Canada! I'm sending them all warm thoughts from England. I do wish they will read this with the English accent I've acquired. Teeheehee!</div>

I've met a few new friends!! The blue one's a furby! Some kind of creature that I'm not quite sure about. Boy are they a chatty kind!! This creature makes the weirdest noises at the weirdest of times and none of us can understand what's it's all about. They are fun to watch though and all that mumbling is quite funny for the most part. The penguins and I try to immitate but it just doesn't sound the same!! Furby's are funny fellows!! Rumour (a.k.a the penguins) has it that they can somehow be turned off! A funny concept to me, but they sure do need it! Fancy having an off switch, I would certainly object to that!<br />

Penguins love a good story. This one in particular loves to hear me read Sea Life over and over again. He thinks my newly acquired accent is a bit odd. Personally I think I sound very charming and sophisticated but that has been questioned a few times by this pesky penguin. Good thing he loves playing hide and seek too...and we all know it's a game I love!! </div>

Yoohoo! It's the queen!! Look at me mingling with royalty! Yeah! Yeah! I know it's just a plate but I haven't met her in person ...yet!..and how many of you own a plate like this huh? See...it's still cool!! I think when I meet her she will love me! Forget the queen, I think I should pop in and visit the duke and duchess! I can have a tête-à-tête with Kate and maybe play with little George. Plus it gives me an opportunity to see if Bilbert is perhaps staying with them...you never know, right?</div>

Check out Nathalee's favourite beer!!! Can you tell where she's from? She got me to try some but while it tasted great, beer is just not my cup of tea. I prefer ginger beer! Plus I have to be a role model for all the other little monsters!! Beer isn't good for monsters, they can be a rambunctious, naughty and mischievious lot after just a few sips! Nah! I'll stick with good old ginger beer! Leave the beer to the older humans they handle it better!</div>

Guess where I am??!!! ...You got it!! At the movies!! Nathalee, Deanell and I are watching Non-stop! Oh and I had popcorn and a big pop to myself!! My belly was busting at the seams after that! The movie was great! You all have to go see it. It was captivating right from the beginning to the end and I was immensely thrilled! It took me a while to calm down from all that excitement! Speaking of calm, I'm off to bed! We will tour some more tomorrow..until then, so long!</div>

The monsters, kitties, monkeys and all have just been bonding over his emails ..they really look forward to it, and when we receive one, they all huddle together to read it! It's the cutest thing!

This certainly looked like a place Billy would love! You know why??? ..he loved horses!! Can you see the beautiful one in the back ground?? Wilbert went horse riding and loved it. He tried to ask the horses if they had perhaps seen Billy... He was shocked to hear him neigh! What an odd sound a horse makes! It startled him a little! Can you tell it's the first time he meets horses too?? Wilbert is certainly learning a lot on his adventures. </div>

"Oh will you look at that!!! The beach!!, I ran around and made little footprints in the wet sand! I build a sand castle with Sebastian and Georgos!!! I swam 2 feet into the water and got thrown back out by the waves!! I played catch with Porthos! I got buried in the sand!! It was such a lovely day!! I just wish my twin brother was here to play too!! I searched all over the beach but couldn't find Billy!! Where is he???"</div>

He looked in this lovely flowery bush but he wasn't in there. The leaves kind of tickled him and he had a good laugh. He couldn't believe how lush and green the bush looked and the flowers were such a lovely pink colour...and the smell was glorious! Oh the little joys of life!!</div>

I have to mention that Wilbert is the only one that's allowed to call Bilbert Billy! It's a twin thing. He gets livid when anyone else calls him Billy!

First is the lovely Ilse!! She was so kind as to let Wilbert stay with her and her family as he searches for his brother in Greece. In Wilbert's email he said "She is incredibly kind, sweet and she smells great!" Can't you almost tell from the look on his face? </div>

This is Michalis! Ilse's wonderful husband. He promised to help Wilbert with his search for Bilbert. Wilbert described him as "fun, friendly...with a great sense of humour and a firm grip!" We can tell just by looking at him...can't we?</div>

Wilbert loved meeting Sebastian, Ilse's son!! He thought he was so cool!! He loved his haircut and he couldn't get enough video game time with him! He said Sebastian was "adventurous, fun, creative and very active." He taught him some awesome games, he even got to win some! Okay maybe one or two....Sebastian is just way too good at the games! Wilbert just needs more practice. </div>

Georgos is Sebastian's brother ....and Wilbert loved Georgos! Not only because he took him to the beach, but also helped him look for Bilbert while they were there. He said Georgos was "kind, adorable, playful, very active and so cool!" Wilbert found the beach very calming...but left and right, up and down, Bilbert was nowhere to be found. </div>

Porthos was a little terrifying to Wilbert at first. He sniffed him a lot and made weird sounds. Bare in mind, Wilbert had never met/seen a dog in his life!!! It only took a few hours for him to fall in love with Porthos! He realized, they are about the same height and they can play together! They both spend a lot of time chasing his tail!! Wilbert even tried to ride Porthos but that was an epic fail! Wilbert described Porthos as "cute, cuddly, playful and very friendly!" The biggest advantage of having Porthos around was that he got blamed for everything! (Even when Wilbert did it teeheehee) Missing cookies, farts, open doors...just name it! He hopes that one day he can out-run porthos at the beach though. He just needs to keep exercising. You can do it Wilbert!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that we've met the family we will have to see what adventures he gets into with them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Write soon Wilbert! We miss you!!!</div>

We were all sorry to see him leave, but we have to remember that he is on a mission to find his twin brother Bilbert. I think he just loves adventure...just like Bilbert! The wonderful news is that he got there safe and sound on Valentines day!! Ilse was nice enough to have him stay with her family! The highlight of his day was busking in the warm sun, nibbling on some chocolate.<br />

Can you see the pure bliss on his face as he enjoys the fresh air blowing his ears?! Some of you may also observe the slight anticipation of taking the first bite of his chocolate...</div>

We were sad to see him go but hopeful that he will bring Bilbert home. On the morning of his departure the doodledollies all got up early to make him breakfast and plan a way to make his last day special. They baked him some apple spice cookies served with a glass of almond milk. That, by the way is his favourite breakfast...and so was his twin's Bilbert.<br />

He even had a second glass of milk!! One monster was so tired from the early morning baking and fell asleep beside Wilbert. </div>
<div>

<div>
Once Wilbert was fed they took him outside to have one last snow ball fight. A good idea too since Wilbert will not see much of it in Greece. </div>

Splat!!! Wilbert got it right in the face!! Nothing a little fluffing and blow drying couldn't take care of later. It was still hilarious when it happened!<br />

We hope he will have a lot more entries in his passport when he returns. Most of all we hope he brings Bilbert back!! I will keep you posted on his goings on! Stay tuned!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wilbert's last words "I will find my twin brother Bilbert if it kills me!!!" Hopefully he doesn't mean that literally...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wilbert..enjoy your adventure!! We miss you already!!</div>
<div>

Let's recap for those who missed out. Bilbert went out on an adventure a while back. He visited a few places before someone kidnapped him along the way. All the doodledollies and I were very saddened and we took a long hiatus to moan. But his twin brother decided he will go out and find him. We all agreed!!... and on Feb 4th, he took his flight to Greece to start his search there!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
This is the day he left and his friends had a farewell party for him.</div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
Wilbert didn't get as great a send-off, but he did have a fun last day. Pictures will come shortly...</div>

A while back I'd mentioned that I was getting a whole bunch of fur from a friend who's family was closing their coat making business. I got a variety of colours and I'm finally putting them to good use. I made a few monsters which seem to have been a hit in my craft show this past weekend. One very lovely customer bought a whole bunch just for herself! Kids loved them...admittedly a few were scared. Nonetheless, I was left with barely any at the end of the day. These monsters were certainly welcomed with open arms by all the others. The kitties were a bit suspicious, but finally after a few hisses, they accepted the new furry bug eyed monster. Here are a few jungle theme ones! I just love the leopard fur!!!! It's so soft!<br />

Now they were asking what Wilbert and the rest are all excited about. And they were told all about Bilbert and his adventures. They volunteered to go in search of him, but Wilbert has already been nominated and he has his travel documents almost ready. We might have a party to send him off as well. We'll see...</div>

I think we were all living vicariously through him. They nominated Wilbert to go off in search of Bilbert. Hopefully he will send us lots of pics from his travels and if we are lucky, he will find Bilbert and bring him home. I hope you guys are all excited to see where he goes, what he does and who he sees! And if we are really lucky, he will bring Bilbert home! We are all excited here!

The one I currently have, I've always known was a sight for sore eyes, but soon it will be a brand spanking new cool one!! I finally created an business page and hopefully those of you that friended me in the old "DoodleDollies" can come and like me on my fan page here <a href="http://www.facebook.com/DoodleDollies">www.facebook.com/DoodleDollies</a> <br />
<br />
I had a giveaway last week when I finally hit 50 fans and I am hoping to do another one at 100fans as well.<br />
<br />
On other news.. you can finally buy your very own DoodleDollie at the chickpeaboutique in the heart of Ottawa. You can check out the website here <a href="http://www.chickpeaboutique.ca/">http://www.chickpeaboutique.ca/</a> Jen, the owner is so sweet and her shop is so adorable. The great thing about her shop is that you can shop online as well!! The baby gifts in her store are to die for!! Next time I have a baby shower, I know where to go.<br />
<br />
So going retail made me really sit down and evaluating my numbers and realized i'm barely making a profit! So unfortunately I will have to raise the prices in my shop slightly. There are a lot of factors I hadn't taken into consideration when pricing my stuff...wow!! <br />
<br />
Please visit my shop at the end of this weekend and let me know what you think of the new pricing.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have an awesome week ahead.DoodleDollieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13057098597782226164noreply@blogger.com0
