busy, busy

I’ve been busy, busy, but not much time for dolls. Some dear friends were in town (Boston) for 3 days at a convention for art teachers. They have a company that sells Twisteez, a plastic coated wire product. Just about the whole family was there, including Harold, who was my art teacher in High School, Sandy, who was my best friend in High School and is now my brother’s wife, my nieces and nephew, and lots of the other siblings, spouses and children. It was great to see them all and participate in the convention. I came home with a bag full of goodies too! Free Sharpie markers including a retractable sharpie- cool!, craypas, crayons, an erasable marker(!). I also bought some sketch books and brushes. Lots of fun, but very tiring!
Now that they have all gone home, I am trying to get Julian ready for his trip to Japan. I’m driving him down to New York on Thursday. He and Eleanor fly out on Friday morning. I am working on my shopping list. Lucky them!
