Note to self, don’t buy the Santa stamps next year just in case the holiday cards don’t get sent until a week after New Years. Like this year. Ah well, they did get out, and I hope they brightened a few mailboxes.

I do like sending holiday cards. They are good practice designing images for cards, and this year I had my kids not only help with ideas, but actually get into Illustrator and assist with making elements. And addressing envelopes is good hand writing practice for me. Even if they go out late.

You get a picture of my dog today, because he is so darn cute, I haven’t shared a picture of him in awhile, and my graphic work picked up which means my craft work has lagged. Time for a puppy post!

He is 1/2 Lab, 3/8 Schnauzer, and 1/8 Greyhound , according to the DNA results. He is my best dog, although he does tend to get himself hurt in the yard. The latest bout was a tangle with the wire fence New Year’s Eve. Probably spooked by fireworks. He is despondent that he’s not allowed walkies until he heals more.

I found four little pots of flesh colored slime on our table, lined up in a neat little row. Felt a bit like the intro for a Dr Who episode. Turns out my youngest mixed up all her slime colors and redistributed them in the original pots. That doesn’t really diminish the chill factor, does it? On that note,

Happy New Year’s Eve!

I’m old, so I’ll be going to bed, but the rest of you crazy kids be safe. See you on the other side.
