I am looking forward to reading the group again. I've missed it while I've been away. Not that I'm completely back yet but I bought a new computer so at least I'm not relying on borrowing one any more. When did the ascii newsgroup get so full of garbage? Laura Sometimes known as ldb

Its been a crazy year of the Dragon for me. I have hardly made any
ascii all this year. Here is my Christmas art from past years. Todd,
my brand new husband, has to work tomorrow morning. I thought I would
take the morning off from cleaning and other work and work on a new
Christmas ascii picture. Seems so strange that Christmas is almost
here. Last night we ran into Todd's aunt and she asked us to host the
family dinner! Quite a lot for me to pull off after one week of
marriage. Luckily there will only be 4 or so of us, most of Todd's
family can't come. I've decided to make my home made bread, everyone
loves that and then they won't even notice if my stuffing doesn't turn
out quite right. lol
Seasons Greetings,
Laura
