Happily ever after.. !

What a month! A few hectic build days left until our big day, our wedding, and then the honeymoon! Phew! I'm going to need a vacation for my vacation! December has almost come and gone, but what a fantastic month. I feel truly blessed. I married my best friend on the 7th and we get to start a new chapter in our lives, together! Fun was had by all at the ceremony and it was awesome to hear how everyone had an enjoyable and unforgettable evening.

We had an awesome time in Disneyland and got to meet up with a bunch of kick ass Instagram friends! Being at Disneyland for seven days we got to enjoy every moment! It wasn't about rushing to the next ride, or not being able to stop for the bathroom because we were going to miss some live performances.. We literally rode maybe six rides a day and enjoyed our entire time looking around and taking everything in. For as many times as I have been to Disneyland I had never enjoyed a show at the Golden Horse Shoe Revue, or gone into the Heraldry shop among others, but I can officially scratch a ton of stuff off my list! Food was the theme for this trip and we got to eat almost everywhere.. Blue Bayou (twice!!!,) Carthay Circle, Ariel's Grotto, Steak House 55, Big Thunder all you can eat BBQ, Carnation Plaza, and The Cove Bar ( lobster nachos and BLOODY MARYS...%$^#@%$^%!!!!!! .) I can't wait to go back! 

March of the larger Card Guards!

I've officially gone nuts. With three days left until the wedding I decided to make even more new things and not finish stuff I have been putting to the side! AHH! At least I have a U-Haul truck reserved already! The card guards are HUGE! I figured they had to be larger than anything else, so they stand just over 6 feet in height! Still need to outline the black a bit more and seal these and they will be done! Not sure if I will have time to make them some lances.. I think probably not, but we will see! It is now officially crunch time! I've loaded up on Rockstar and Coffee, so hopefully I will get a lot accomplished tomorrow!

The Cheshire Cat is finally.......alive!

This is one of the earliest projects I painted for our wedding (TEN DAYS LEFT, OMG!) and one of the last to get animated! I happened to find an unused wiper motor inside my coffin of supplies and figured I could finally animate the cat without spending a bunch! I sourced all the parts from within my supply cabinet/coffin and luckily the Frankenstein concoction payed off!

Still need to paint the edges and seal the entire thing, but for now I can sit back and admire my work! Not for too long.. Still have a bunch to finish! Feeling very much like Halloween right now! Haha!

My poor dog Dinah would bark and bark at the Cheshire, so much so that we had to hide it in the closet! She was barking because she thought it was alive! Now I finally gave her a reason to bark!

March of the Card Guards

Twenty two days left! Need to get everything done! Ahh! Card Guards are halfway painted... I painted the white using sprayable white lacquer and that ended up saving me time and a few mess ups were easily wiped away! Basically set up a huge assembly line and painted them all at once! Since my brush strokes are still not the best the paint markers come in really useful to get crisp lines! 

Already setup the Christmas tree too! Since we are going to be in Disneyland for ten or so days, I decided to bring out the tree early because we won't have time to do it once the wedding gets closer and only having the tree up for nine days once we get back would be a crime! Already spending the night on the couch with Veronica because she loves the lights!
