The concert was a great success - acoustics chose to cooperate for a change and I managed not to massacre any of the solo parts. Phew!

Picspam under a cut; I've upsized the pictures a bit, so that the individual cards would be better to see. I took group photos because the storage space of the iPad mini is nearly full.

That is, 8 more Christmas cards. I'm up to 46 and have used up the scrapbook paper I've accidentally bought twice. I still have some more Christmas motifs, though, cut out from old cards and/or chocolate wrappings, respectively, so I intend to make a few more, but not very much ( Read more... )
