It's a huge project, the biggest paper project I've done. On Sunday I'm going to do the cutting (or rather: let my plotter do it) and on Monday I will assemble the thing.

My hair is chestnut brown but it looks ashy at my age. I want to dye it a medium brown with gold highlights. I've been a redhead, blonde twice and very dark brown. I prefer a lighter brown now I have some grey coming in.

I'm looking at the website of the Wielisczka Saltmines near Krakow. I just finished read the latest Sigma Force book, by James Rollins, and one group of characters visits the saltmines. My sister and I visited the mines when we were in Krakow two years ago.

I bought some salt based cranberry shower gel and bath salts, which smelled wonderful. I still have some bath salts left over. They do have a webshop and they do ship internationally, but although the products are cheap the international shipping isn't. Though I am now tempted to place an order.

Enjoying the end of the anniversary of our first date.

Cutting out all the paper I need for putting together a Christmas house. My plotter is now working on the fifth file, of thirty three. It's boring: put paper on the cutting mat, load the cutting mat, load file, check if it's correct, send to potter, wait while it cuts, carefully remove the paper and then remove the throw away bit and repeat. After eleven files I'm going to give myself a break. Tomorrow I'm going to glue it all together.

Only problem with the steakhouse. I ate way too much.

It took about 4 hours of cutting yesterday and about 6 hours of putting it together but the Christmas house is done! I'm going put it in the shop window tomorrow.

I tried to take one, but it was too dark. I will take a couple tomorrow.

Although I underestimated the time it would to make it I did enjoy doing it. Plus, it's nice to use it in the store that's a good excuse to do it more often.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

We still want to add a LED light on the inside, I don't expect that'll happen this year but if it does I'll take another picture. The white on the roofs is actually glitter paper to indicate snow.

The website I bought this cut file from also had a really nice street lantern, which looks a lot like the ones in the city center of Utrecht. That one I'm also going to make, plus for summer they had a cut file for a lighthouse.

Wow!! Is this heavier than normal printer paper? Like, cardstock or at least construction paper weight?

Needing to get off my butt and shower.
