Ho Ho Hums

Christmas is over, darn. The silk quilts were a hit as were the silk batting bed pillows complete with silkworm excrement (poop). Luckily, that part is in a small packet that slides in the back of the pillow and can be removed. According to the sales people at the silk factory in beijing, the Chinese people feel the aroma has calming and relaxing qualities. Frankly, I think it smells funny. I took the packet out of my pillow and put the pillow in the dryer with a sachet. Much better!! My brother and SIL liked their Chinese watercolor and were discussing frames and where to take it for framing, so another hit. This was mini album year as well and those who received one were happy as well.

I made two last minis and I'm waiting for the pictures to come back so that I can complete them for our Christmas memories.

I made this with HS Winterfresh. Each page is 6x12 with the right side folded back 4 inches giving a flap on the right side to put the journaling or more pictures behind. It's a quick album that HS showed us while we were in Beijing. (Did I tell you I went to China? I just couldn't resist that.)

It's time for me to get in gear and clean up my SB room and house. I have a week to do it in and then I have to start looking for work. Ughhhh. I'm really liking not getting out of bed until after 9 every morning, but, alas, I do like to eat. And speaking of eating...that's another thing I need to do is take off a couple of pounds.

Glitter and glue to you..
