i realize i'm still not good at blogging, so i think i'll just be honest. i probably won't post again until january, because we're going out of town for a bit.
the good news is, my new camera is being shipped to dave's parents' house, so i'll be able to update my portfolio and take photos again!
enjoy the holidays!

a beautiful journal and really great pens/pencils.

treat him/her to a seminar or lessons. check your local paper for offerings. a lot of cities have craft and/or art guilds that hold regular classes. there are even some craft stores that do pretty good classes.
some suggestions that will help people who make paper crafts:
some suggestions that will help people who make paper crafts:
- calligraphy/penmanship: having good penmanship can only make things better.
- book binding: personal wish of mine. i'd make books all the time.
- scrapbooking/card making: even though some of this can be cheesy, it's a good way to get a sense of how to do a simple layout.
- photography: the use of your own photography can really personalize a project. it's important to learn about composition, lighting, etc.
- art: sometimes a basic 101 type class is a good way to learn about color schemes and simple techniques
