So now that I'm done with classes I'm finding I have quite a bit of time on my hands, at least so far I have. I've been so excited for Christmas and all the wonderful-ness that comes with this time of year and I guess I'm making up a little bit for the last few holidays I couldn't go full swing on. I don't know what's gotten into me, I'm usually not a "creative" person by any means, but when I saw this:
I knew I wanted to try and make those letters, it really became a mini obsession. So anyways, I went to a wood store and bought the kit, which started out looking like:
And after approximately 4-5 hours of painting and drying (and some other stuff in between), it ended looking like:
Hopefully you can see I also added the little light bulbs (in the G, R, and C). I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. It wasn't the easiest thing to paint and I still kind of have to do in the arms on the Grinch character, but for the most part it's finished and I'm extremely happy about it.
Also we got the tree all decorated and looking good too:
We got it all decorated, finally got the star to stick on the top (don't know if you remember how sad it looked last year with it next to the tree), and added a skirt and presents. I'm SO happy with how that turned out too.
So needless to say I'm all ready for Christmas to be here, but I'm FULLY enjoying the holiday spirit/season (and that I'm CLEARLY not studying for my test ha ha). Hope everyone is having as good a time as I am :)
