Jeff and Ray

Happy birthday to my friend Ray (on right in above photo).

Will Write For Chocolate

Will Write For Chocolate has been updated, and I've added a doodle to my office tree:

Little guy in my tree

I remember how hard it was when I first started painting that tree. I mean geez, it's just wrong to draw on the walls in one's house, isn't it? Once I started, though, I found it quite liberating. As Jeff pointed out, we can always paint over my tree when/if we ever decide to sell this house...until then, I'm going to have some fun with it.

Here's what my corner currently looks like:

Office tree corner

Note the addition of the GAfilk surprise Legolas poster. :-)

I have a bunch of ornaments I'd like to add to my tree, but am trying to figure out an easier way than ceiling hooks. One idea: string wires or fish line across the corner so I can just hang things whenever I'd like (idea stolen from the Dave Clement's Bhigg House).

Any other suggestions welcome!

Speaking of ornaments: To those who participated in the Christmas craft ornament exchange this past year, please see this follow-up post, thanks.

The past week has been devoted to GAfilkstuff, but I wanted to add a final word. THANK YOU so much to those involved in planning and running GAfilk; it may be a laid-back convention for attendees, but it certain requires a ton of work behind-the-scenes. Thanks also to the concom for taking the guests out for dinner on Sunday evening!

If you've never been to GAfilk, I heartily encourage you to come next year, especially since Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff are the Guests of Honour. I'm going for sure. :-)

In case you missed them, you can find Allison's detailed convention report in her LJ:

Thursday | Friday | Saturday (Part 1) | Saturday (Part 2) | Sunday

I supplemented this report with a few notes of my own:

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
