I bought a handful of little point & shoot cameras today at an antique store. Two of them seem to be functional, one seems to be broken, and the fourth is untested (but it's one of those focus-free plastic cameras, so there's not much to break in those).

Walked around Alton shooting with one of them today, then walked around the Loop a bit, then got some ramen to make up for yesterday.

Yesterday, December 5, was Dutch 'Sinterklaas'. Saint Nicholas, a generous bishop, travels to Holland to give all children presents. His helpers throw the presents down the chimneys - as seen above. So the image for the 5th is this not very pc wrapping paper I found at my mother's house, from the seventies I guess.

Kudos to the North Norfolk Railway. Their wrapping paper this year was AWESOME.

I created some custom wrapping paper with a roll of brown kraft paper, paints, and simple foam stamps. It was fun to do, and I like the way it came out, but tape didn't stick to it very well when I wrapped the package! Oh well -- I used ribbon to hold it together instead.

*SOLD*

The art on these is gorgeous and you have to love the Santa Alvin packaging on the wrapping paper! Most likely some of the first items to use the new Chipmunk Adventure animation art.

Trying to use more bags - less wrap!

This took the longest and it had to be wrapped inch by inch to move with the letters.

This was my nesting envelope that ended up with Stewart. Somehow he was actually able to read some of the letter on the back....

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.
