Melanie and I have agreed to swap artwork (made by ourselves) for Christmas, as gifts to each for this year. That's really easy for her. She being a Chicago architect, designer, arty-fartsy guru and all. She tells me my gift is already in the pipeline, slowly making its way to its targetted holiday completion. I have no doubt it will be a fine piece. I only look forward to marvelling at the "irony" in her work.
Meanwhile, here I am still at a loss for ideas for my end of the deal. I want to come up with something novel, but manageable to create. Inspiration is always inclined to trickery, really. When you need her, she stays a pace away; and when you couldn't care less she sits on your mind and makes you reflective. Which I don't need to be sometimes. Especially not when the weather is gloomy, and the change of seasons outside my window is painfully beautiful.

Well, there's always a pinata ;-) Not sure- I have limited skill for form. Another blogger had a brief post on decorating milk cartons- I kid you not. Unfortunately, it's been deleted, but it was basically nice craft paper over the carton to look like a house. Maybe you could do something like that with a famous Chi-town building? And hey- aren't you a pretty good photographer? What about a photo montage of some of the best of Chicago museums and restaurants, particularly some that might mean something to the two of you?

Hey Deb: The photo montage is definitely a serious contender for the final product! How are you doing? Will visit your blog later. After this paperchase I am working on.
