apple photo books
I think I mentioned pre-holiday that I had a happy customer service story to tell. Won’t come as much of a surprise that it’s Apple. I made my parents an Apple photo book for Christmas and it went missing. FedEx lost it. After months of scanning old family photos, cropping to the right dimensions, sorting by date, laying out a 50+ pg book, the stupid FedEx guy evidentally delivered it to the wrong address or dumped it in a snowbank … More
make way for january
Man! There’s nothing on this old blog here but pictures from Christmas. I need to bump some stuff down. Here’s a photo for today. Tim cut these silhouettes of the kids for me for Christmas.

Add to that my handmade gifts being nearly finished and ready to ship out and I’m one cheerful elf today!
These are the last guys to be packed up. They’re bookmarks made from … More
actually having a grinch day
I’m going to go ahead with the full-of-holiday-spirit post I had going for today instead of going on a crazyperson I hate winter rant about boots and frozen pipes and sheets of ice for roads and parka hoods that get tangled in bag straps and try to put you out of your misery by hanging you on the minivan door. Nope. Instead it’s all cheery. It’s all good. Dream of a white christmas. Snow is your fluffy happy friend. And … More
