Hello Merry Makers, Holiday Happy Hoppers and Christmas Carolers,

Yes I still am alive and functioning. Just keeping it down low and resting as much as I can get away with doing. Still working 40 hours and doing a couple commissions, hopefully get them done before Christmas.

I have a few colored boxes available on etsy. Specifically
"Buffalo Magic" [link]
"Honey Bears" [link]

The rest of the pieces are pyrograph small items. Most under $12 [link]

Yeah I finally got the last portrait box done for this year. Now I am telling everyone no till after the new year. Mainly because I have to buy blanks and wood. I am also purchasing another pattern book, a new sander and a fabric hints book.

In the meantime I am still finding it extremely hard to get in the spirit. Instead of seeing people helping each other out, I see constant whine and victim mentalities. I can't take one more sad puppy or kitty story begging for me to adopt them or give money to them. Bad people, most are not born that way but forced into those situations by poor judgment and even poorer situations. Still I don't know if throwing money at a situation can change those people, problems or situations. It all just makes my head hurt, ears smoke and body twitches.

I think I need to just cut off all contact with the outside world for a while. NO news until I can get myself in a good place.

Happy Holidays.
