Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve was wonderful. I can't put into words how great it was. My entire family got along, we got Calder's Chocolate Milk (the best chocolate milk on the planet), I drove around with my sibs jamming our favorite tunes, and we got to eat PIZZA for dinner. I have officially been awake for 29 hours, but I don't mind because today was the most productive day yet. I knew I wanted to do a big Christmas post, but I didn't know what to do. I drew a bunch of Santas at Ram's Horn, but nothing did it for me until I had this vision in my head which I knew I had to bring to life. I have never attempted to construct 3D objects with construction paper so this was a first. First off, here is a baby tree on our table that my parents put up, my ugly christmas sweater, some fun photos with my sibs (Chandler and Shelby), and me working.Here's what I used to create everything:I seriously spent at least six hours making this work. I couldn't find my usual light that I use to light things so I had to use a crummy flashlight and I had to take the photos too. It was a lot of work, but I wasn't going to stop until I finished. Please click the images to make them larger!The following two scenes I tried to tell a story. I had a lot of fun doing this.We have presents to open, but that's not until tomorrow. They are from SANTA. I really can't wait because I wasn't expecting anything. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Take it easy today! Also, Happiest of Birthdays to one of my best friends, Sarah Caudill. I made her a really cool card, but, I didn't scan it.

This is good, cheesy, but good. Also I pretty much HATE every picture taken of me in that collage, really? Way to pick the worst ones. Whateva, Merry Christmas, man.

Wow.. I really like your 3D santa and reindeer and the random story you were trying to tell. Good job you should've showed me the santa after you were done I would've bought it.

1st: AWESOME sweater!
2nd: your paper Santa and Rudolph might be the coolest holiday themed art I've seen this year!
