florian's niece lisa is visiting from germany this weekend. while here, she found out that she'd gotten into the university she'd wanted. she was thrilled -- because the program there includes photography. and then, almost on cue, her camera broke.

so while she and her friend were traipsing around manhattan with disposable windups, i went to target and bought her a new camera.

i kinda like being a tante.

A sheet of hand printed wrapping paper.

Dark red ink on Nepalese Lotka paper.

Blogged.

I just realized that some of my gift wrap papers (those in sheets, not in rolls) are actually 1:sqrt2 rectangles. Who would've thought.

It's not of standard A sizes (neither it's B or C series for that matter), but the ratio is just exactly right. I don't know about you guys, but it's a big deal to me :D

One of the Christmas presents my parents sent me this year was this 3DS game. It's gotten kind of terrible reviews so far, but I want to play it anyway. More on why that is here: www.thegaygamer.com/2014/12/santa-brought-me-this-copy-of...

Hedgehog Wrapping Paper

I know it's terribly wasteful, but I love wrapping presents with shiny paper and ribbon. I can do without the shiny paper, but the ribbon is an indulgence that I would rather not do without. I try my best to reuse it though. Last year I used the last of my old ribbon, but luckily I hit the jackpot the only time I've been to Costco this year. No dollar store selection could compete with what I found there.

Cut out pieces from wrapping paper, plus glued on confetti and adhesive gems. Card made for my grandma.

Making a start on wrapping Christmas gifts!

That's my oldest daughter Jazi, back in 1988 at my high school graduation party. I know, she's got a red and green bow in her hair, but I think my brother took her in my mom and dad's bedroom and entertained her with some bows and wrapping paper. She would have been 7 months old in this picture. My brother Jeff, who is holding her, is now almost 42. Jazi is going to be 22 this year. It was really a blast from the past finding this pic, seeing mom and dad's room with paneling on it, their old bed, I remember their blanket even. I did some restoring on this photo. It has been tucked away in a box for a long time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

cut out paper collage

thrifted at the Salvation Army's Seek & Find Shop, Ogdensburg NY, 4/7/08.

I'll keep a few books, a few of the wrapping paper packs, and the map pins. The rest will go to eBay, in my bookshop, or will be traded on Titletrader.com or Bookmooch.com.

I also got these books: www.flickr.com/photos/cshym74/2406054529/, these socks: www.flickr.com/photos/cshym74/2399731122/, and this purse: www.flickr.com/photos/cshym74/2399729772/ that day, for a total of approx. $24.
