Oh dear, Christmas almost, tinsel and lights and cake and cake and cake and cake and cake, and... err ..... tinsel.
Did I tell you that I wear vinyl belts now? Unlike leather belts, they stretch - which is good.
Of course, like the pianist Liberace, they go the other way as well .... ie they don't just stretch, but shrink.
To be honest, so far I have not investigated their shrinking properties - though I once read in the Norwegian Adventurer's Handy Hints Guide (April 2009) that if you leave them in the freezer for three months they shrink two sizes.
With that tit-bit of information we can conclude (well, it goes without saying, really) that, if you go to the North Pole as a Santa Volunteer and happen to have a penchant for vinyl belts, there is small but calculable chance that you will need abdominal amputation if the temperature drops too far - courtesy of the tourniquet effect.
Hmm. Did you ever notice that I type rubbish in my posts? :)
I'm just trying to keep up with my friend Linda - who as a wordsmith has no equal - and types anything but rubbish!
Thank you so much to all my friends for your kind visits this year. It means very much to me. I count myself blessed to have met such a talented, friendly, encouraging, good looking and intelligent bunch of artists with superb taste and style. :)
I sincerely hope you had a WONDERFUL year - and that next year is double good.
I'll be round later and give you all a hug :) Let me know if you have sore ribs or anything like that.
PS: this is for IF's "Sink" - and yes, Elves always wear their pants (and coifs for that matter) in the bath.
Don't you? :)
Thank you so much for looking.

(Oh if you are reading this before the 19th go here if you would like a free taste of Poser - a program originally designed for artists to pose models without having to talk to real humans.... it comes with a stack of 'models')
