Space in a trade show booth is both precious and spare. But in that small space a vendor needs to display their wares and attract attention in a very busy and colourful venue. Once again we will be designing and building a small display piece for our friends at Coastal Enterprises for the International Sign Association show to be held in Orlando in March of 2018. Coastal Enterprises manufacture Precision Board high density urethane, glues and primers which we use exclusively in our shop. I opted to build a small table this year on which they can display samples to hand out during the show. The table will measure 2' x 2' x 4' tall. Their logo will adorn the base and a cute but very stout robot will hold up the table top.
Quiet, white Christmas
This morning we woke to a skiff of fresh snow with a few snowflakes still falling. It's rare on Christmas day in these parts. This year, Christmas morning is unusually quiet as we prepare for a few for turkey feast this afternoon and a much, much larger crowd tomorrow as family gathers from near and far. Christmas at our house is about family and being thankful for our abundant blessings. We are truly blessed! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Making Christmas memories
At our house everyone helps to get ready for the Christmas feast. One of grampa's jobs was to cut the bread into cubes for the delicious turkey stuffing. Juniper, of course, was eager to help as grampa laid the many slices out on the table to dry out a little before cutting. As usual, when grampa and a grandchild are 'working' together, it quickly became a very fun game. Grampa may have encouraged it - just a little. As fast as grampa laid out the bread slices on the table Juniper stacked them up again, taking the occasional bite to make sure it still tasted good. The task took a little longer than it normally would but we got the job done with lots of laughs and in great style. This is the stuff(ing) of Christmas memories to be cherished.
Merry Christmas from our house to yours!
