charlotte – yes! i was just saying how much more fun it would be if my family celebrated christmas a month from everyone else. more fun because i won’t have to stay up all night sewing for the week leading up to december 25, rather i could save it until january…

jill – if chuck bass had been in that cab, i likely wouldn’t have made it back to the shop for my class, likely we would’ve snuck off to new york city for a french bistro dinner!

i’m impressed beyond words at your holiday production! your friends and family are going to be delighted.

michelle – i’m still trying my hardest to make as much as possible… until next tuesday when i’ll really have to assess how realistic it is. i was happy to see you on saturday and totally thrilled that so many people stopped by to make magnets with me. next year i will clear my schedule, so i can enjoy more of the show.

angelune – good for you! i look forward to seeing what ornament design you come up with this year! i can’t even recall what i did saturday night, likely i was quite comatose, in a over-crafted way.

becky – you deserve all kinds of accolades for such a grand event. enjoy a momentary rest from the world before we start planning our valentines fest.

karyn,

thank you for all the kind words.

as for my holiday gifting, i get to hide under the excuse of being jewish. it’s not much of an excuse, though, as my greater family is so mixed that i really should be making gifts.

I have finished all my family gifts and mailed them yesterday! Now I have to finish some friend gifts and I’ll probably be in to use the laser to cut some ornaments for my co-worker gifts. It never ends! At least it’s fun.

Karyn – what a trooper you were on Saturday! You really were racing around, I hope you had a relaxing evening after closing up shop.

i am nowhere near finishing my gifts, i actually have to cut down my goal of making everyone something. i wish i had more time! i remember your complete astonishment when you found out the workshop was over already but i hope that you still had fun at city of craft! i love my magnets

karyn — that is a great photo of you in the back of the cab, but where is Chuck Bass and the champagne?
my 100 % workroom-inspired xmas gifts are close to being done. Only 2 bucket hats left to go!!!

‘In face?!’…I did mean to say ‘in fact’. When I can’t write a simple sentence it is no wonder there are half made books, bags and snap coin purses all over my work table.

You’re not the only one! In face my family and I have decided to now give gifts in January because none of us will be ready in time. Hopeless…
