urgh.

It's a homemade christmas this year, which in its own way can be as stressful (depending on personal standards /perfectionism /anality /procrastination) as participating in the buying madness. On the other hand, I've thus far completed more interesting projects, ones I've long wanted to do, than I have for a long time. Quite encouraging. Still, for a few family members, it'll be christmas week stuff, 'stead of there in time for christmas day. Oh well.

Bottom Line: It is a {bleep} of a lot more fun making than buying it.
