So, it's back to the grind soon. School starts up on Monday, I've got my work cut out for me on the mock trial I'm participating in (good $$, though). I'm writing to you from my favorite new gift, my iMac computer! Still got some payments due on it, but it's not too awful.
Couple of updates: I finished the Hanukkah gift for my mom - in time for the last night of Hanukkah. Go me.
Here's a picture:
Yes, it is. It is a replica of one of the famous broadway posters of Fiddler on the Roof. Here's how I made it.
I got a frame.
I found the poster picture online. It looks like this:
Then I had to flip it so it was backwards, like this:
I attached the backwards picture to the front of the glass frame. Then I took tiny translucent glass beads and glued them (mosaic style) to the inside glass. So, yeah. The entire thing took a ginormous amount of time to complete. Also, I ran out of beads at some point and had to abandon the project until I could GET more beads. But, alas, it is now out of my hands and in my lovely mother's hands! Yay!
I also completed a project for my father that had been waiting in the wings for awhile. I have many cross-stitch projects that are half-finished and this one has been living in a state of 93% completion since 1999!
Here it is all framed and pretty:
Other fun things include:
I got new glasses! (Haven't had a new pair since the early 90's)
Spent the eve of the New Year with Wolter watching Iron Man and Boogie Nights!
And I finally got my boobs checked!
Had an MRI mammogram
and a clean bill of health!
Following all this fun, the January of HELL will commence immediately. Otherwise, I can't complain! Life is sweet and I hope it is for you as well. :)
Peace and Love,
Ali

Nice job on the rollover comments. For the third picture, I would also have accepted "fooR eht no relddiF fo noitcudorp yawdaorB siht morf retsop eht fo acilper a m'I."
Ah yes! If I had only thought of that. Thanks for the encouragement, anyhow. :)
