| You've been wondering what I've been doing? Well, I know some of you have because I've been getting emails. You might want to grab a cup of tea...or coffee...or wine because this one is going to be long. |
 |
| "The Holidays".....you know how busy it is and I don't even do that much....I did take a day off to play tourist in my own town. San Francisco is a great place to do that. Isn't the Palace hotel pretty? |
 |
| And Chinatown....always a favorite spot of mine. I have been roaming around the streets and alleys there for years but I had never been to this place. I passed it by lots of ties thinking it was a tourist trap and it kind of is BUT it just looks so cool... The Far East Cafe on Grant Avenue |
 |
| And I can recommend the wonton/noodles/BBQ pork soup for sure. |
 |
| Another favorite spot to hang out is my studio. One of my happiest places to be and there is always so much to do there... and, I like company too, so come on in. |
 |
| My pal Margarete brought me some great boxes of stamps and I spent quite a lot of time happily sorting them and playing with them... |
 |
| I wrapped quite a few presents in my studio too... |
 |
| And I made a bunch of Christmas accordion fold books but having gotten into the holiday spirit too late I still have them all. But the good news is they are all ready for NEXT Christmas. If I can remember where I put them. I just don't get in the mood for Xmas till about a week before. As I was making things I was thinking what a good blog post it would be to show you but by then it was too late... DOES THAT HAPPEN TO YOU? |
 |
| I worked on finishing up my NYC travel journal. I had fun making tabs and then sticking stamps on them.. |
 |
| Don't they look cool? Well, I think so... |
 |
| I made a very small, almost square altered book for a good friend who loves Japan. |
 |
| Also busy making envelopes and sending out some good mail. |
 |
| Yes, another lunch out - this one in Japantown. |
 |
| Spend some nice time by my pretty Christmas tree....read a lot of books, baked a lot of cookies and made pies, took packages to the post office, worked, cooked, went to our mail art group's Xmas party..... OK, SO here's what I want to know from YOU -- What would you like to see on the blog? What interests you? Just Art? Food? San Francisco? I need to know if there is enough interest to continue and what you'd like to see more/less of. And, c'mon -- you can post anonymous comments easily - I know because I get A LOT of spam comments. You can do it! Let's start the new year together. |
 |
| In the meantime, if you are looking for me, I'm having a cocktail. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for a Very Happy 2109! SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
