I am flake no. 1226306

After decorating for yesterday’s party, I was still in a crafty mood, so I made a bunch of paper snowflakes. I created a variation on one of my designs at the very fun and addictive Make-a-Flake (requires Flash). I’d say it’s very French, very deck of cards. Do visit the gallery while you’re in there making your own snowflakes. Some of those designs are pretty amazing.

Holiday fun

Yesterday was our office holiday party—each department comes up with its own theme, and our lavishly decorated “tropical Christmas” won a prize for “best ambience”; yours truly was on the decorating committee, of course—but more importantly it was also my final workday of the year (thanks to some clever juggling of leave time). So I am now on vacation!

Rajani’s and my annual winter reunion is changing host cities this year. For the past couple of years, we’ve met up in New York, but this time, she’s coming this weekend to Arlington to visit me and Thom. Good times ahead, baby.
