Wilbert tours Greece

Wilbert had a few days bonding with the family and spending endless hours playing with Porthos. He had so much fun that for a brief moment he forgot his quest to look for Bilbert. At least he knows he has to have fun as he searches too!!

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!!

Oh the ground is so warm!! Where is the snow?? He is certainly not missing it! The sun on his face feels lovely!!!  You can tell with his one attentive ear he is listening out for any sounds of Bilbert! 

"Yoohoo Billy!! Can you hear me?? Woot..notice how the Greek flag in the background brings out the brown in my eyes??!... I love it here!! Hmm Billy's not here!!"  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! By the way...does anyone else notice just how easily Wilbert gets distracted?

"Billy? Billy? I guess he's not on the rooftop! But hey, look at this beautiful view!!!! The air is so fresh, the trees smell great and the sky looks beautiful!...oh what a beautiful mooorning.. oh what a beautiful day....ok enough singing! hey Porthos, wanna play hide and seek?..."

Wilbert is having such a great time in Greece! All the monsters are having a great time living vicariously through him!! We miss him though! But he has a job to do and an adventure to have. 

So long Wilbert! Till next time...

Wilbert meets the family

Wilbert has been enjoying his stay in Greece so much!! The weather has been just perfect and the family has been so loving!!!  He wanted to introduce us to the family.

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? 

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?

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. 

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. 

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!!!

Now that we've met the family we will have to see what adventures he gets into with them. 

Write soon Wilbert! We miss you!!!

Wilbert's First day in Greece

Wilbert left Canada on a cold Winter day but with a warm heart! 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.

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...

Let's all give him a moment...

Stay tuned!!

Wilbert's last day

We are all glad that Wilbert is off to search for Bilbert. 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.

He was very pleasantly surprised and gobbled them up fast!

He took a pause in between to tell them how grateful he was and offer us all some!

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

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. 

Say cheese!!! Look at that!! One's even whiter than the snow! Yeti!!!

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!

So much fun!! Short lived though ...as soon it was time for Wilbert to take his flight. He even got the first stamp on his passport!! Aaaaaawwww...

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!

Wilbert's last words "I will find my twin brother Bilbert if it kills me!!!" Hopefully he doesn't mean that literally...

Wilbert..enjoy your adventure!! We miss you already!!

Wilbert has gone to find Bilbert!!!!

Finally, after a long holiday season and a little travel, Wilbert has gone to find Bilbert.  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!

For those who need to see where Bilbert's adventure began, and his awesome farewell party, please click here

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

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

Monsters!

I'm not sure if you guys remember.  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!

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...

We are going in search of Bilbert!

So the monsters and I had a meeting and decided that the fun doesn't stop because Bilbert was kidnapped. 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! Hurray!!!
