Weeeeeee! It’s Christmas Eve!!! My favorite day of the year. Woooo hoooooo!

Why is it my favorite? Well, for one, I’m done with my project… and don’t get me wrong, it’s been a blast, but… let’s just say, a little rest is in order.

Also, for me, Christmas Day can never live up to the fun of anticipating it. That’s where all the magic is for me. In fact, I’ll be up all night with my Canon G10 waiting to catch Santa in the act… yeah, that’s right you doubters, I still believe, and I aim to prove it!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!!

Um, yeah, it’s me again… the advent calendar spokes-elf. Sooooooooooooo sorry.

Seems I’ve been informed of yet another incident, involving several burnt cookies and a broken ornament… don’t ask, it’s not pretty.

My sources have once again assured me that tomorrow a grand finale of sorts will ensue.

Merry Christmas to all and to all… unburnt cookies and fully intact ornaments!

So many things would be left undone, if we didn’t at least try the seemingly impossible!

………………………………………….

So the Illustration Friday word for the week is “undone” and after shopping, wrapping, cleaning, baking and illustrating, I’ve pretty much done as much as I can possibly do today.

Stick a fork in me. I’m done!

Daffodil had obviously never heard the term “awkward as a cow on rollerskates.” In fact she seems quite comfortable hauling udder as she tries out the new inline skates Santa brought her.

Ahem… excuse me… I have an announcement to make.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am the spokes-elf for the author of this advent calendar. I have been informed that due to an unfortunate eggnog incident, there will be no day seventeen art tonight. I’ve been assured by sources close to the author that after a bit of the nog that bit her… I mean… ahem… beginning tomorrow the calendar art will resume at it’s regular time.

Thank you and good night.

Alright, I know, I know, this doesn’t make that much sense. Actually it was originally going to be a sort of “get out of jail free card” of sorts. I was just going to post the “gone fishing” sign” and go to bed… but nooooooo, I had to draw the little fish.

So there you go, a cold fish, for your Advent Calendar pleasure!

Happy Holidays!!!!

Looks like Junior takes after his great, great, great, great, great, (x 65 million, pant pant) great, great, great, great  grandfather!
