. if you want to know what kept me away from gc, here it is:
1. shopping, baking, cooking and in other ways preparing for my 40th birthday party. yep, i'm that old now
![hee hee :hehe](./images/smilies/hihi.gif)
! and i hadn't had a party like that in ages, so i was very stressed up about it and nervous that things would go wrong and there wouldn't be enough food, etc. the party went fine and i had a great birthday and was spoiled beyond belief.
2. working extra and preparing things for work. we have finally set a date for a bazaar, where we will be selling things our users have produced during the year - and for me that has meant a lot of experimenting on methods of producing things. we actually have things to show now, woohoo! i might take some photos when we have more and show you

.
3. trying to finally get started on a homepage. my aim is to get my jewellery out on the web, but i have started more modestly - on a page that shows up my gimp work and where anyone who wants can download my gimp graphics. i will post a link to the site as soon as it's worth showing up.
