“The RoseBouquet”

Getting out my Christmas mail, and printing out some books and binding them for giving as gifts is about all I’m getting accomplished these days. Being sick is a viable excuse, but not a fun one. I’ll be making up some IOU certificates yet.

One thing is that my printer/copier is getting a work out.

I’m also glad that in January I had ordered some ink refill kits, and so almost daily now, I pull out either the black or the colour cartridge, get out my syringes and refill them. It only takes a few minutes but can get messy, so I always have to spread out newspaper, and wash up my syringe afterward.

I have plans to print out some photos to make some collage collections as gifts for Dad and Tom; I’ll see if I can pull it off on tomorrow and Friday.

Last Saturday I managed to finish and print out and bind a very special kids’ book for my niece Jalise’s two children. It introduced them to their family and relatives in Plaut Dietsch (Low German). Jalise wanted my help to teach her kids this ancestral language in our clan. I hope they will be as pleased with it as I am!
