Default What a Christmas surprise
Went to the post office today, Christmas eve, to pick up the mail, and there was my copy of Bjarne Jespersen's new book, Woodcarving Magic. He has so graciously included in his book a photo of one of my carvings, bird in the cage, with chain. What an honor to have a peice of my work published in a book, especially by someone as talented as Bjarne. Talk about making my Christmas, that did it!

Merry Christmas to all!
