Wise words by Cameron Z

Just For Fun ...

... I've been wearing green everyday this week, in various shades and amounts.
... we ate a baby octopus salad, and lived to tell about it.... I'm listening to the Dubliners Live CD at work (over and over again),

and dreaming of that beautiful, green isle.

... I'm trying to get my hunny excited about his THIRTIETH birthday!

My Funny Valentine

He has the best of intentions - it wouldn't be fair for me to get frustrated when he loses track of time working in the basement that he's refinishing, for us.Plus, he always makes up for it.

That, and he's really REALLY ridiculously good looking.

Best. Christmas. Ever.

But really - any time spent together with friends and family and gift giving can't be all that bad!:: Christmas Eve ::

:: Last minute Happy Hour at our house with some great friends and their kiddos ::

:: Dinner and presents at our house with the McDonalds :: :: A 9lb. Prime Rib and a 120lb. Mastiff ::

'Tis the Season

On the bus to work . . .

During my lunch break . . .

On the bus ride home . . .

After dinner . . .

Into all hours of the night . . .

I was running behind before I started!
The rest of you crafters and hand-makers know what I'm talking about.

'Tis the Season!

Counting Down (already)

Christmas is only F-O-U-R months away!

When you try to make everything handmade for the holidays -

only four months away means - I'm already running behind!

Happy crafting everyone!
