I know I haven’t been around much lately. It’s been tough for me, some of you know that. Just wanted to say I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas this year. It’s been great getting to know all of you. After X-mas I hope to be back in the shop. Not sure yet if I’m painting this winter or building something. I have so much I want to do. That stupid little thing called my job just keeps getting in the way of things. My husband started our boat dock. I’m hoping it’s done by Spring. It will be here before you know it. Merry Christmas everyone!

Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas. I am finishing up the last of two jewelry boxes for Christmas and then I will be ready. I do not know why you have been gone some but good to see you back. This is a great site with very nice people.
God Bless

Merry Christmas to you!. Good to hear from you. Though a lot of changes in me too, the woodworking my way becomes a touch n go…. priority is given most of the time to those request of the loveones. I actually have made some projects that are not really posted. I consider it just a household obligation.
My wish today, to finish pending works…. HOPE SO.
Well good luck this Christmas season and God Bless.

Happy Holidays Janice.
I know what you mean about work interfering with life… and woodworking time.
I did cut back one day starting in October – to reduce stress and increase time to do the things that truly make me happy. We can only do what we can do…

A very Merry Christmas, Janice. I hope you get into that shop soon and make something great. And if the boat dock is finished in time for spring boating, you’ll have a lot to look forward to with it!

Thanks everybody. Sure seems like I have a project everynight when I get home from work, just not wood. Working on photo calendar for my dad for X-mas tonight. I’m about done with it. After the holidays I hope to get back into the shop. There sure is alot of nice people on this site!
