Christmas Cards


My ideal evening involves weird shows on TLC, man-sized  loungewear, and a craft project.  This isn't some new thing because my mid-twenties are behind me now, it's always been this way. I decided to make my own Christmas cards this year and probably took it a little bit too far into cat-lady territory
(I made a rubber stamp. I carved a snowflake into this gummy block using my bare hands and small tools.)

My inspiration was this reindeer that I bought to add a little Christmas cheer to my mantle*.  I drew a picture and scanned it, then printed it on different papers, adding paint to some and stamping others.  I made 6 in about 2 hours, including the breaks I took to give my full attention to Hoarders and I
Didn't Know I was Pregnant
. This is seriously going to take me forever.

Merry Christmas!
