First of all, I'm so sorry that I haven't been around this past week. Things have gotten crazy, and not because of Christmas! In the past week, I taught 3 different photoshop classes, shopped (mostly for food), had a chiropratic appointment, carol singing, went and saw The Hobbit (YES! A post coming up on my thoughs on it, but I will tell you to GO AND SEE IT), did some banking, sent off some paintings that I sold, baked, worked on a digital painting of Thor, put some time into making the most epic music video to date, and went Christmas tree hunting.
   So, as you can see, I have had NO time for drawing (with graphite pencil), painting, or even blogging. Hopefully I'll be able to post more before Christmas, though seeing as it is only 5 days away, it may be hard for me to do. I'll try, but don't worry if you don't see me. My extended family lives in town, so Christmas is always one of the busiest times of the year.

   Oh, but I do have some exciting news. My aunts' husbands' brother (so that is my uncles' brother) came to know Jesus!! YAY!!! Why is that so exciting?? Well, any person who comes to the Lord and accepts Him into their heart deserves a party (all of heaven breaks out in celebration for each salvation), but it's because both my aunt and uncle aren't saved. Long story short, my uncles' brother was a huge alcoholic and drug addict, and he caused Uncle and his mom tons of trouble.
   Now that he's stayed sober for a full year now, and has given up drugs, has pushed my Aunt and Uncle a little more towards God with his conversion. Now, if I can ask you, can you pray for my aunt and uncle this Christmas season?? I would love for nothing more than to see them accept Jesus as their savior, because I know they're missing something, and they know it too, they just don't believe in God. So on that note, I will post this.

Random huge glass pear. Seriously, it came up to mid calf on me! It was HUGE! And fat.
