Tetsu and I opened our presents which were all things we either picked out for ourselves or went shopping together to buy. I am tickled with a very elegant watch that I chose for myself and which has a LARGE face so that I can read the numbers now without looking for my reading glasses! Ooh! Do I feel feminine! I don't know what this will do for my jeans wardrobe but it is a very lovely watch!
For myself I ordered a blog book from Blurb and it has turned out soooooo beautifully that I ordered another one for my mother! She has trouble dealing with the computer but she seems to like reading a lot. Well, she will get 200 pages of reading! Unfortunately Blurb doesn't link with Blogger anymore so it is only because I made this book a few months ago that I can order it now. Too bad. I am very happy with the results and I hope that they'll figure out how to reconnect with Blogger because this is a GREAT way to keep your blog in a physical form. Anybody who uses another type of blog engine and wants to put their blog into book form should check out this website! (Can you tell that I am happy?)
Tetsu's vest seemed to fit him. It wasn't a big surprise for him of course since he had seen me working on it all these weeks and even saw the finished product on this blog a couple of days ago. It could have been a little longer but he pulls at it anyway so his knitted things tend to grow. Rats. Forgot to get a picture of him today as he went off to work. Maybe tomorrow. I also got both of us some little hot spa bags so that we can carry our own shampoo and body scrubs etc. to the onsen. And I bought Tetsu a pass to the nearby onsen that he likes to visit.
Hope I can get out and back before the snow comes down any harder! Merry Christmas to you all again who are still on the 25th!

The book is such a wonderful gift. I wish I had one made before I deleted my first blog.
Beautiful timepiece!
And a Merry Christmas to you! :-)
Your blog book sounds like such a wonderful idea! I did a search and found that Blog2Print can make books from blogspot.
Your watch looks beautiful and I am sure Tetsu looked very handsome sporting his new vest to work. Christmas is almost over here, still have about 2 1/2hours to go, but I'm calling it quits for this year and heading to bed. Been a very busy day. And with this : to all a good night!

I am catching up on blog reading. I am disappointed that Blurb doesn't link with Blogger anymore, since I just reached my one year blogaversary. Maybe they will relink!!
ooh, your book came out wonderfully!
You chose a lovely watch, Tanya.
When I visit you next time, please show me the blog book. Looks beautiful!!
Merry Christmas to you Tanya. The watch is beautiful, as is the blog book. I still haven't gotten around to ordering one. I have some posts slurped up so I probably could do one.
What a lovely watch. It also looks very readable, which all we of a certain age can appreciate. My titanium watch which I love has gold hands on a gold face and stick markers for hours. Oh, brother, the sqinting I do! The blog book is beautiful, what a great idea. So many of us just reconcile to the face that our blog is ephemeral.
Great book - I've been wondering what the book would look like with our blog posts.
My son used Blurb and created a meditation book using his words and some of my quilt photos ~ marvelous results. I am so excited about the idea of linking between my blog and a 'real' book... thank you, thank you!! Best wishes for the coming year!
