I’ve been away since December 21st, visiting family. Family is what it is all about, not only during the holiday season, but throughout the year. I am back home, now. It was a joy to see two of my three granddaughters! Emily is my 19-month old granddaughter, and Melody is 14. I loved watching Emily run, dance, sing, talk and have pretend conversations with her baby doll and her monkey. She kept taking monkey’s temperature with her digital thermometer, and fed him and For Mrs. Trefrey
So this week I have some more gifts to post that I created for people during the holidays! Santa met up with me the other day to get Alexa her Baby Alive doll. All day she kept saying “I’m so happy Santa found my doll. I can’t believe it!” When I left and told her I was going to a “secret place” to meet up with him to get it for her, and then I wrapped her in the car before I got home ! The look on her face when I came home with that doll was priceless. She was jumping up and down, and just smThe Best of Nerd Approved: December 22nd-28th 2008

Well, first of all... I so didn't plan to leave that last post about the rolled up newspaper up there for Christmas. I figured I'd have time to post some sort of fabulous festive little message to say "Have a grand holiday" to anybody that stopped by to read. But instead I got so swept up with the things I wanted to get done that I completely forgot to post at all. So I left you all with visions of me beating various family members with a newspaper.

Hello Everyone, I hope you had a joyous Christmas. Christmas came and went a bit too quickly for me. But I still enjoyed and cherished the celebration. I will have a few more photos to show you in the next couple of days. I received my complimentary issues of “Quilter’s World” in which my dolphin pictorial wallhanging is featured: It was a fun and quick project for me.

It was at this time a year ago my wife and I took turns watching over our very sick daughter. Those parents reading this can most certainly relate to that especially helpless feeling you have as you care for a sick child. Small and helpless, we took shifts watching our 4 year old daughter throughout the night, hoping that on Christmas day we would see a little spark of life return to her eyes as we slid a present onto her tiny lap. The bright wrapping paper and shiny bows had no effect on herHow the Christmas tree came to New England
Hey, it’s Christmas day, and for the last hour you’ve been sitting and watching your cat rip ornaments off your Christmas tree. Suddenly you ask yourself, “But wait, how is it that the German custom of Christmas trees got imported to North America?” Well, different people brought it to different regions, but here in New England it was a Unitarian, Charles Follen (1796-1840), who introduced the huge green cat toy custom of the Christmas tree to us. Follen was born in Germany, was a professor thArtist Watch: Comic Market (Comiket) 75
These artist watch posts which come with every Comic Market event are posts which I both dread and anticipate. I anticipate them, because they force me to go through my collection of artist sites, looking (and salivating) over new illustrations and information. I dread them, because they are a pain to compile, and because they are the engines which drive financial ruin. This year, I have once again made a useless pre-Comiket resolution to economise. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but therVincent Stall’s Favorite Things
