The book is bound

The book is bound and already in Alex's hands. I hope he liked it. It is always hard to tell with sons--they don't get excited about much. But I had this leather, and made the covers, took it all to Joanne's studio where she let me use her drill to make the holes. The rest was easy---just a rubber band and a twig--which she provided! Thanks, Joanne!

The trip to NYC was great. And I got tons of new letters. Still have to crop them etc, but hope to post some soon. While there, I got a call from a woman who wants a name frame sent to NYC! So I made sure I had New York letters especially for her order. It was fun, but I think I drove my husband and son crazy....

New York, New York

New York, New York! Just got back from dropping my son at college for his sophomore year! He is actually in the Bronx at Fordham University. We combined the college drop off with a vacation and made a loop through Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Niagara Falls, Baseball Hall of Fame and then spent 4 days in New York! Had to get him moved into his tiny apt that he will share with 3 other guys. His rooom is about 7 x 9.... barely big enough for a bed! But the neighborhod right near his apt is actually kind of cool--alot of italian restaurants and delis--but on a college student budget, I doubt he will see the inside of most of them. After dropping him off, we drove through Gettysburg and spent about a day in DC. Whirlwind tour! A little crazy, but that's a typical vacation if I plan it!
