Like Snow and Beer?

 Then rock your body over to Eaglecrest this weekend because the Alaskan Brewing Company turns 25 and wants to celebrate with you at the High Gravity Games!!!

Okay, this is part shameless self-promotion (I designed the poster), but mostly all about how fun this crazy day sounds.  When else are you going to get to see dudes hitched to a dogsled and chicks tossing kegs while dummys get thrown down the mountain all from the comfort of a fabu beer garden?  Only in J-town!! And only at Eaglecrest this Sunday- so hopefully I will see all your crafty faces there!

Happy

 This week in my photography class we were assigned to take a photo with the theme "happy" without showing any smiles, so I took this picture:

 Not the most amazing picture ever taken, but it's pretty amazing to me.  and weird. very weird.

Also, for some reason "move-in" is much easier to write on a white-erase board than it is to do in real life. go figure.  Happy Monday!

Let's Believe Again in Valentine's Day!

Xtra Tuff Love brought to you by AlaskanDermish.etsy.com

 Ah, Valentine's Day. Every year, if I actually have a date, inevitably my wonder boy doesn't "believe" in the holiday. How can you not believe in a holiday? It's on every calendar out there! But my conspiracy theorist exes would have you convinced that the card folders are in cahoots with the chocolate dippers who in turn scratch the backs of the jewelry setters who are definitely in bed with the flower de-thorners who, of course, all own the calendar cutters.

And this maze of deception has one end, to get their precious money that they otherwise would be spending on a 60-inch flatscreen with surround sound. So this year there will be no more excuses. Let me help you put the craft back in Valencraftines Day and believe once again in a holiday free of commercialism.
