So being as my parents live in Germany and I am shipped there for Christmas to get to visit I have decided this year to send the presents ahead of time. Which also means that I have done most of the gifts already and am just waiting for enough to pile up to ship. However this is also problematic because it will ruin my nice bows so now I can show them what they looked like prior to smashed bow syndrome. A lot of the gifts are home made this year so I hope the recipients like them :) This way I don't have to pack presents in my suitcase instead of clothes. Which is always a bad idea when you fly into snowy areas with little to wear.
And now on to some photographs I am working on. This is from a series on churches in both America and Europe. The top image is from Switzerland and the second one is near my school in PA. It is currently a series of 10 images and we were told to frame two and while most people would frame a picture of the whole church or the inside I found that these two doors were to beautiful to overlook, I find that they are my favorite two out of the whole series and while these pictures do the works no justice I will try to get a good shot later. To be honest I cant even help but stare at the top one the doors are not only a color of wood that you never see but it is intricately carved and just plain amazing. The red on the second door is so vibrant you cant help but love it and it is on the front of a church that looks pretty medieval. Each frame weighs a ton but I am in love and I can't wait to hang them, They are my first framed works that i did from start to finish and I just want to see all images done like this now.

| These doors are so intricate I chose to frame them together the only two out of the set to get such treatment. |

| Horrible picture of the finished product but I only had my phone these doors are mind bogglingly gorgeous. |
 |
| This is apparently called a mobius that I made for my Aunt and here she is wearing it :) |

This was an early Christmas present that I sent her since she lives on top of a mountain and it gets cold way faster than Christmas so I cared more about her being warm than it being under a Christmas tree or opened on a certain day. I thought it was just called an infinity scarf but I was informed when she got it that it was instead called a mobius and I believe her since she knits way more than I do, and is much more versed than I am. .... That is all for now :)
