Spoiled rotten with all of the books I received for Christmas. I am trying (so far I have succeeded) not to buy books while I am here (though I did go looking for the new Cloth Paper Scissors and Somerset Studio even though I should know by now the newsstands are always very slow in putting them out this time of year-grrr).
Obey: The Art of Shepard Fairey; Beguiled by the Wild by Charley Harper; Art & Flair of Mary Blair; two Maira Kalman books: Next Stop Grand Central and What Pete Ate. And yes, Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean socks. Um, I bought those for my own stocking...I want to wear them to class this week ;)



More family photos-my Dad's side of the family-going around the table from the left-Dad, Jim, Aunt Sis, Denise, Bev and David watching Tristan decorate the gingerbread house. (Bev, I didn't want to leave you guys out ;) LOL!!!!) Photos from before we ate. After dinner was served, the table was loaded with food and yummy deserts. Dinner and desert at Bev or Aunt Sis' house is AMAZING pure and simple. Damn good cooking!!!!


My cutie patootie with his new Exoforce toy.

I'll be teaching tomorrow at Ink About it. My friend Sharyn is kind enough to trek out there with me!! Then I'll spend some more time with Sharyn, Elyce, Marie, Susan, Andrew and the whole gang at The Stamp Act-I'm looking forward to it!!!
