Bit by bit

Yesterday when messing with some Christmas lights, I knocked this off a shelf and it cracked in two places.

It’s a wand, and I’ve repaired it, but can I still cast spells with it? Ha! Fooled you. I don’t cast spells anyway. Trust me, if I did magic, I know which way this wand would point today. I’m looking at you, Washington.

In other wizard-free news, I have a couple of things decorated. Santa’s workshop has reopened for business.

And look! Horses frolicking in the snowy meadow and avoiding ginormous sleigh bells!

This is how I’m displaying my sleigh bells this year. The sleigh reminds me of a little town in Texas called Coventry…

Huh. Maybe I have done magic before.

Button Sunday

This button is advertised as “I Love Christmas.” But when I look at it, all I see is “I Tree Christmas.” I like “I Tree Christmas” even more and think it should become a standard holiday sentiment. Maybe even a new Christmas song that a different celebrity will record each year. What celebrity do you want to hear sing “I Tree Christmas?”

Chances are…

If you gave me an address any time after January, I probably lost it in the Great iMac Horror 2010. If you’d like to make sure I have a good address for you in my database, and you respond on LJ, my comments are screened so no one will see your details except me. If you’re reading this on FB and want to keep your address private (you should!), you can e-mail me your details at becky(at)beckycochrane(dot)com.

Good thing Santa doesn’t rely on computers to know where you are.

Button–Wednesday? Mystery Edition


Sometime this century–and I think it’s been during the past few months–someone mentioned this button in a comment to me. It may have been Terry, but I can’t find the comment. What I do know is that person lost a button similar to this one, and I said I’d check my collection and send it. I still haven’t checked my collection, but I found this in one of the Heights stores on 19th yesterday. Tell me who you are, and the button’s yours!
