Better, and still busy.

 Well, stuff is slightly happier in the house.  It's funny how teen angst just blows away like dandelion fluff.  Wait 24 hours & most things seem to resolve themselves, affirming my thinking that most teen woe is way overblown.  

Meanwhile, still working like a crazed christmas elf.  I finished these last night.   Copper & Black dragon heads...

& yep, they're up on Etsy already, of course.  I'm experimenting with the eyes; usually I use green but I just kept picking up the bag of turquoise glass beads...I couldn't resist.  What IS it with me & turquoise/brown combinations this year?   I've always liked it but I'm totally drawn to it these days.  It's becoming my "thing".  *shrug*

lol...last night I was saying how much I want/need an i-Pod Nano (I'm using a first gen Shuffle...it holds about half the songs on my list plus it is getting old & quirky).
Greg:  "What color do you want?"
Me:  "I dunno...aqua?  The red one?"
Greg:  "And what if you've been naughty?"
Me:  "Santa can give me a coal-black one."

It occurs to me that "naughty" is a relative term.  It'll be interesting to see what color Santa brings me.  The Apple Store Online is shipping & engraving free, by the way.  :::BIG FAT HINT:::

So here's my house with the Christmas lights & a little bit of snow.

My shrubbery...it's twinkling!  Merry Smurfing X-mas.

I think we ought to have an entire entry dedicated to our holiday decorations...what do you think?  golden_meliades, I know you don't do holidays but you DO live in an awfully pretty, snowy place.  We could call it a seasonal picture celebration.

I think maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll post a "Seasonal Pictures" entry & we can all share pics of whatever...Plastic Fantastic trees or holiday villages or whatever gets you guys in the mood for the season.  I want to see what everyone is doing for the holidays.  :-)

Where ARE you? 15 F is the coldest it gets where you are? Jeez it'd suck to miss out on winter completely but I envy people who get consistent sun year round...SO VITAL TO A GOOD MOOD. My dad and I, and one of my sisters, all get SAD to varying degrees.

I'm in Texas, luffly!! It can get close to 0 F, but that's rare. You'd enjoy the sun but you wouldn't be able to have such lovely gardens here! By June lawns and pastures are toast. You'd have to zeroscape or do all natives. But the grass would still be toast.

My mom has SAD. When it clouds over you can be sure every light in her area is on. It's a rough thing to have. *huggles you all*
