This is my husband Robbie. He is the one who puts the silver cores in my beads, cleans my beads, makes travel arrangements, goes to the post office, etc., etc. The list could go on and on. Without him I wouldn't be able to do so much. He is also my best friend. Besides our family, one his biggest joy in life is snowboarding. Can you tell? His love of snowboarding has spread to our whole family. The other day the words "I love winter more than summer" actually escaped my mouth. The kids have been on winter break so I've been taking a break too. Beginning the day after Christmas, we went on a 5 day snowboarding marathon. Every day there was fresh, deep, dry wonderful snow to play in.
All I wanted for Christmas this year was tools for metalsmithing. Robbie got me a third hand and a set of files. I quickly spent all my Christmas money on tools, before I could spend it on bills.
I want to thank everyone SO much for supporting Larissa Spafford Designs in 2010. I am so grateful for each & every one of you that made purchases, gave compliments, encouraging words & shared stories. Even just taking a moment to stop by my craft fair booth, my website or my etsy shop is greatly appreciated.
I've had a great winter break and can not wait to get back into the studio when the boys go back to school this week. It feels like we've been on vacation for a really long time. There is only so long that I can go without doing anything creative!
