It's nice to get some shots that you feel good about. I contacted a few rolls last night and there's definitely some stuff worth printing. I hate when the contact print looks good but the actual print isn't so hot.

I've been thinking about offering small prints matted to 8x10 and/or have notecards. I'm thinking of making the notecards with an RC print and corner mounting them on some nice paper. I need to look at some fancy card stores to see the different ways people are making their cards.

I just got a 40% off coupon for Dick Blick, where I buy some of my matting supplies. They have pretty reasonable prices for a retail art supply shop. I usually buy my matboard from wholesalers--much cheaper. But I need a new mat cutter and maybe they will have one that I would like. I'll check after this weekend. Assuming I have enough money. Why is Christmas at the end of the month, a week before you have to pay rent--bad timing...

Oh by the way HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

I thought it might have been Kwanzaa yesterday. I see it's not just one day. Last night there were a lot of kids running around and having fun (we have a lot of people from Africa in our building--Minneapolis has a sizable Somali population). It starts on the 26th so who knows, just another fun night at the Crystal Village Apartments.

Wise thought: Don't give your son's Christmas list to all the relatives before you (meaning me--dad) pick out a few of the best gifts to buy first.

Ahhhhh!!! I just realized we've got to go shopping today for more Christmas presents.
