So, part of that, the last few days, has been creating stuff. I've made more author magnets, that I hope to sell at the bookstore. I enjoy making them and I love to think of them having a home out in the world!
And I've started making articulated paper dolls for the In-Law Family Reunion. I thought I'd make these dolls, attach pictures of people's faces to each one, and make a family tree. There are some kids attending; maybe they'll want to play with them. Here are the first two, Mr. Handsome and me.
I realized, right off, that our heads are WAY too small. Reminds me of Beetlejuice.
Sadly, I only realized this after printing all the faces. Not a big deal, really. I'll just make the faces bigger! Hopefully, they won't get all pixelated. I should make clothes for them, too. We look like we're part of a cult, wearing some special garb or onesie! It's kinda fun making them, though it's a LOT of work, more than I'd anticipated. Here's hoping I stick with it!
I've got a dear friend who has had such trials this year, 2011, that it's genuinely unbelievable. And, of course, there's Japan. My worries and problems are completely insignificant. A cliche, I know... but so, so true.

I love your author magnets. Can you sell your stuff on Etsy? I bet others would love them, too! Maybe you can put the things (minus the magnet) on other things like chains for necklaces...
Hi Ashley! I did make a necklace, but I need to practice making those more... it's not quite right. I've looked into etsy, but they seem to take a pretty big chunk out of sales. I should look into it more.
I hope all is well with you! Thanks for commenting! I love comments; makes me want to post more!
