january weather continues to be more sunny and mild than cold and dreary. any winter day that's sunny and mild is one more day without cold and dreary with the possibility of ice and snow. i'll take it!
the christmas amaryllis has grown another half inch and has 6 main stems. two additional stems have begun to sprout on either side of the main stem. when this amaryllis actually matures it's going to be amazing.
yesterday a friend and i shopped at our favorite scrapbook store. there is often a free make and take, a simple paper craft project that is designed to demostrate different techniques and use of products. it's a lot of fun to walk in and be greeted by a free make and take. it's almost ridiculous how excitedly happy these simple projects make me. (it doesn't take much to amuse or satisfy me and that's a good way to be). several of these have become projects that i make at home as gifts for others.
also yesterday the mail presented me with an amazing tea themed handmade thank you greeting card. love it! this morning i awoke to discover that the dog had chewed a handmade christmas card still on display that had fallen to the floor! oh, sadness! it was like the victory and defeat of handmade greeting cards all at once! thankfully, the creator of the christmas card has agreed to send another. that gesture will make it necessary to send a handmade thank you card! there can't be too many handmade greeting cards.
