Shop update #371 (12-18-24) 2 Christmas parties, 30 Christmas ornaments and a couple of Christmas gifts

I received a last minute request to make 30 Pickle Ball themed Christmas ornaments so I designed them up on Friday night and cut them out on Saturday. They received 3 coats of clear lacquer on the front and 2 coats of black lacquer on the back.

I also put up a string of RGB-IC LED lights on the front of my house on Saturday.  The controller box and power brick were pretty large so I laser cut a 4x4x8 inch box to mount under the eaves of my house to keep it all out of the rain.

We also attended our neighborhood Christmas Party on Saturday night.  I brought a Snoop on the Stoop for the White Elephant gift exchange and gave all of the families a 2024 Christmas ornament.

On Sunday night we had a Christmas Party for all of the Marching Band parents.  I made Chicken Fried Rice for the potluck and engraved a cutting board and a flask for the gift exchange.
