This site is very fun (now I am a Safari user! they didn't seem to like explorer or firefox).

The Trudeau Dolls on this website crack me up, they are hilarious. http://thesouvenirshop.ca/shop/?page_id=3&category=9&product_id=27

the lumberjack envelopes are a must.
i'm a canadian living in arizona and anything that makes me feel closer to home is crucial to my day to day hapiness.
