December 28 Stationery. When you touch the paper, your heart melts. The ink flows from the pen. What was your stationery find of the year?
For years, stationery has been an area of my life which needed some reigning in. Sadly, I don’t write paper-letters often enough, and don’t mail thank-you notes or cards often enough, but this is a truth which remains well-disguised by my supply stock. My collecting goes through phases. For a while, it was vintage papers and envelopes, then trendy themed sets (Sushi-nery and Pink Panther fold-and-mails among my favorites). This year, the draw has been to all sorts of cards — handmade paper cards from around the world, clean-lined letterpress cards, delightful story cards, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Some of them don’t even make it to the stationery shelf, and instead get pinned to the wall somewhere.
December 29 Laugh. What was your biggest belly laugh of the year?
There have been dozens, and 90% of them took place at Santa Fe Mexican restaurant here in Greenwood, as part of our household semi-regularly-scheduled dinner outings. Something about the combination of Wendy, Michele, Abby, me, and those tortilla chips make everything very, very funny. And good memories.
yes, we are all so funny together!! bah haha. : ) we need to have another dinner outing again soon. very soon.
