in no particular order ...
i got to spend time with some good friends this past weekend. we gathered at bar louie for malissa's 30th birthday. this isn't the whole group, and we're not at bar louie ... but this is what you get. :)
i made kristie a quilt for Christmas this year. she claims to like it, and i'm choosing to believe her. :) it was a fun quilt to make. the backing is a green moleskin, which set the colors for the rest of the quilt. i'm pretty sure that's a completely backwards way to put together a quilt (backing first), but it worked out well.
i got a new digital camera; one that will easily fit into my purse & travel with me everywhere i go. along with it's regular functions, it has a "selective color" mode, which is fun.
i made my first attempts to use my screen printing supplies. i failed, but i think i know what to change next time. i didn't read the instruction book closely enough, so my exposure was off.
it snowed pretty good here on new year's eve. we went outside to do sparklers at midnight, but had a difficult time getting them to light. so i took photos of some trees while other folks worked on the sparklers. i do love trees.
seriously, we had a hard time getting the sparklers lit. but my dad's a pretty smart fellow, and once he got out the torch we were lit in no time.
our new year's eve included a "red & green exchange", courtesy of my sister laure. she's been a knitting machine the past few weeks, and each of us ladies ended up with one her creations. mine has been named the "sherbet scarf", and it has a ruffle at each end that i'm crazy about. :)
new year's eve also included a game of cranium (the "wow" edition). i like the game pawns. they cute and customizable. so we had a mohawked nerd.

I am SO GLAD you are back!! A whole month without an update! And no bunco to-boot (is that how you spell it?) Anyways I love hearing/seeing what you are up to and you really left me hanging! I love the quilt, it looks really cool. Cute camera, do you like it? The Rebel is great, but a pain to bring places, sometimes I wish I had a small camera to bring around with me, but the little one we had before was just stupid it would take 5 minutes to take a picture and refresh so you could take another one, it just isn't worth that. Besides I usually have a big bag because of all the kids stuff so it works out. The selective color mode seems cool, do it do the b&w and picks some things to color all by itsself? I also love tree pictures & I took some pictures too, the snow is staying on them so beautifully right now. I like your nerdy guy, games are always more fun when you don't have to pick between a boot or a hat! Anyways I'm glad you back... don't stay away so long next time!
You neglected to mention that we stomped the other teams in the game of Cranium.
I am glad to hear from you! Thank you for the update.
The important part, right Jon?
Happy new year everybody.
