what wants to come into your life now... a few of the ones you'll find...:-) Last week, after the first release of originals, someone asked me this: How can you let your work go so cheaply? she said. Doesn't it lessen the value of what you do?That question spun me around a bit. Because I thought it was obvious why I was doing it... But then I stopped: maybe it's obvious to me, but quite possibly Not At All Obvious To Anyone Who Is Not Me. HA. So, here's what I'd say about that: We all do it....

the unexpected gifts...:-) We run into this every year: little things we want to gift, unexpectedly... This year there's the now & then UPS backup driver, neighbors who already told us to keep an eye out for a holiday party invite & the giant St. Bernard next door who regularly exchanges barks with Yoshi... There are so many reasons to send along a card or a little something extra to people this time of year - to say thank you, we're thinking of you, or hang in there... the tricky thing is...

one more flock of crows (but that's it...:-)) Every time Fia creates a new flock of crows, she vows THAT WILL BE IT for a while. Seriously. No. Kidding. Except after this last batch, she had a sneaking suspicion that she'd somehow lost a pile of blocks that she set aside in a safe place... Of course, three days after we sent out the first flock (which disappeared rather quickly...), she found that pile of blocks she'd ever-so-safely set aside. Which means we have one more flock. Just in time...
