I received a real festive package yesterday. Man, it's hard not to open it.

Thanks to Fired Up at Seaside. I just had the most relaxing two hours I've had in a long time being creative at their shop.

DuneLaker, so nice having you spend time at Fired Up painting your special ornament! Nice to see your "inner artist" come out and play!

are you the one I tried painting a ceramic ball ornament of a beach scene? I spent literally about 2 days on it - at Fired Up - with lots of technical assistance/guidance. well, at least it was time taken for me (and you) and I literally forgot about the stresses of xmas during those few days.

Just got a package in the mail. No return address, so I'm still clueless as to who my sender is, but there's a note on the box that says, "don't open until OL says!" I actually did a little happy dance at the mailbox today and got a funny look from one of my neighbors.
