These were such an ordeal for me to finish. I first starting working on them on Sunday, December 15th of last year. By 9am, I had posted a very happy picture on Instagram of how much fun I was having putting them together. It reminded me of my paper dolls when I was little. But, an hour later, I learned that my mom's cat, whom I had adopted a couple months previously, had been struck and killed just a block away. I couldn't look at these again without feeling my broken heart...
But, finally, they are finished. I'm hoping by the time Christmas rolls around again, my bad memories will be long gone when looking at these guys... here's hoping!
The Gnome is by Simon Says Stamp, the sentiment strip by Taylored Expressions and the paper from some plaid note-cards I took apart...
