Brrr...

I've decided that next year I need to plan a 3-month break from beadmaking during the cold months. It is just so, so frigid out there in the bead shack, even colder than the outside air since there is no insulation, thin single-pane storm windows, holes in the roof...etc...So the goal is to build up enough inventory to post new beads even though I won't be making new beads. Ha. Better get started on that right away!

We are having a wonderful holiday, with three in a row - Christmas, Tom's birthday, and New Year's. He and the kids have this week off and it is heavenly. He is so relaxed after a very stressful fall season at work. Right now we are sitting by the fire and watching a DVD I got him for Christmas - Squidbillies volume 1. It is a cartoon on Adult Swim, about a family of squids who live in the North Georgia mountains. It is the most crass, equal-opportunity-offensive, funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

We took the boys to see Santa last week and took many pictures, so I will try to get those posted tomorrow. I am still having computer problems, so it's hit and miss for me right now!
