Hi, friends! Happy Friday!You probably noticed I've been doing more video content lately, mostly to stay afloat on social media. It's been a hard adjustment, and I've grumbled the whole way, but it's also kind of exciting to create in a new format and see Epbot numbers actually grow again. Meanwhile, readership here on the blog continues to dwindle. And hey, I get it, most people don't read blogs anymore. The fact that you're still here is incredible, and your support means everything to me, but the online world has moved on. Unfortunately all I can do from here is continue to lose...…Hi, friends!

John & I made three themed games for our Hobbit party last week, and they wereSO FUN I thought I'd give y'all the rundown.First, the Mount Doom Ring Toss:Admit it, you'd watch this crossover.The rings were pretty hard to land, butdang this looked amazing on our back deck:John carved the mountain from pink foam scraps, then placed it on a tablecovered with stiff canvas to give it more height. (Build photos here, if you're curious.) He added flame lights inside, piped in "smoke" from our fog machine,and finally aimed a black light at the whole scene from the roof:Our Rings have invisible...…John & I made three themed games for our Hobbit party last week, and they wereSO FUN I thought I'd give y'all the rundown.First, the Mount Doom Ring Toss:Admit it, you'd watch this crossover.The rings were pretty hard to land, butdang this looked amazing on our back deck:John carved the mountain from pink foam scraps, then placed it on a tablecovered with stiff canvas to give it more height.

Hallo, friends! I've missed you! How'd the last week and a half go? Unfortunately Iwas on the couch with a sinus-y head-cold thing for most of it, including Christmas, so John and I had to spend the day alone.  That's ok, though, becausein true Hobbit style we have SECOND Christmas to look forward to.Yep, while everyone is posting recaps and resolutions, Johnand I are still merrily decorating, wrapping gifts, and working on our costumes. LOOK HOW CUTE JOHN IS AS A HOBBITHe's been growing out his hair, and thrifted everything except thecloak, which is just some pinned green...…Hallo, friends!
