This has been quite a couple of weeks. Last week was mostly Christmas dinners, get togethers and shopping. It was hard to get anything on line done because my internet was acting up. I was, however, getting a lot finished on my last customer memory quilt. I just needed to print the photos on the special printable paper. I got two done without problem and then ran out of ink. No problem. I ordered some from Staples and it was to be delivered on Thurs. This was Tues so I still had a lot of time. Thurs. came and went and so did Friday and the weekend. A query resulted in the information that they were backed up because of Christmas and please wait until Monday. I had some shopping to do on that day so, while there, I bought some store brand ink. Nothing from Staples on Mon. or Tues so I used the new ink. However, when I rinsed the photo under cold water, the ink ran. Contacted Staples again and today which was a week after the original order. Got an email saying the order was cancelled and my money returned.
That was good but I still have a problem. I am now going to try a different method. I have paper that is used for printing pictures on sweat tops. If that doesn't work, I will finish the quilt and do over the photos later. I am not quilting over them so it will be easy enough to remove .
Everything else is done. We had a nice fresh snowfall so a white Christmas is all but assured (temperature is supposed to go up again). I don't have to cook as we are going to hubbies family for the day.
Merry Christmas to you all. Remember that what doesn't get don't this year can be left until the next. The important thing is that you are with those you love. If you don't have family close by, take advantage of the organizations that are serving the big meal. You may meet someone who will become a great friend.
blessings,
