Dear bone folder,

For those that don't know what a bone folder is, this is what they look like:

This is what a bone folder looks like.  They are used in bookbinding.  When you need a really good crease or fold, it's helpful to have one of these.  Otherwise, your nails and finger start to hurt after a while.  Thus, winter can be hard on my nails, especially after as many snowflakes as I make.  

Today I sat up while cutting a snowflake a yelled out, "Bone folder!" I remembered that I had stolen one from work at the end of the summer.  (It wasn't really stolen, I asked if I could take it.) I enjoyed the bone folding class at camp, and since there probably wasn't going to be another, I thought it wouldn't hurt anyone if I took a bone folder.  And it is extremely helpful! Yesterday I started making snowflakes that had been folded four times, and they are hard to fold and cut.  Great success! I have a bone folder!

The songs for today:

KT Tunstall: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Barenaked Ladies: Hanukkah Blessings

Michael Bublé: Let It Snow

Dane with KT Tunstall, dedicated to all of you crazy cats on other continents.  It snowed today! Happy first night of Hanukkah! And if you're my gentile cousin in Missouri, I hope you enjoy getting the Skype date version of Hanukkah with my family.  

love,
