Upgraded from a 2020 MacBook Air with 8gb RAM to a 2024 MacBook Air with 24gb RAM.
Its been less than a day and the difference in performance is incredible.
Meanwhile, I'm still the oddball with a MacBook and a Google Pixel...

Spent the morning working on Bridal Shower gifts and coloring some small basswood figurines.
My next big project is to finalize a logo and launch my little crafting buisiness. #crafty #makersgonnamake #maker

Upgrading the MacBook so that I've got something that doesn't overheat when I use the laser.
Im continuing the pattern of 'get a new cutting device, upgrade the computer.'

Laser arrived two days before Christmas. We got it set up and I made a few last minute gifts which were well recieved. After only cutting basswood, I'm planning on trying to engrave a silicon watch band today. #laser #lasercutting

Trying to teach myself the Xtool software before my Laser Cutter arrives. I've managed to modify one White Elephant Game cut file and customize it for a yearly party I attend.
Any tips/tricks? #lasercutter #xtool

I never thought that I'd be buying jeans with my credit card points, but I've realized that I'm an adult and I really need more jeans that aren't comically too long on my frame.

I may or may not have a little obsession with Maryland Flag and Maryland themed stuff in general.
If you're not from Maryland, our state pride is a huge thing.
I've never seen another state where people display their state flag in so many ways or in so many places... #Maryland

Christmas shopping online is great. Tomorrow I'm getting a package with Tang, unicorn lip balm, eyeshadow, and a book about animal butchery.
All of which are Christians gifts for different people...

In other news, I'm now at the age where half of my Christmas gifts are things I've impulsively ordered online that I may or may not need.
