So… my tablet suddenly broke and it was the only device that could connect to my old printer where I scan in all my drawings.

Since the drivers only work on older computers my only option was to dust off an old machine and get it running again.

It runs on WindowsXP.
This is my life now.

Back at this again.
Almost done.

HELLO ITS COLD OUT, THIS IS RACCOON SPEAKING

While it is a bit of work, it's fun for me to get to tinker and find new ways to make things or make the same things but better. These restless hands need to be crafting somethin' or other.

Just happy that it can make other people happy as well :)

Thank you all for your patience despite my lateness. It's a labor of love, and I hope that they all make it out of this raccoon's woods and into the hands of all you fantastic creatures :)

Bye cards!!

But after all that, the work had only just begun because I still had to write all the cards!

Maaany days later, all the cards are done and have finally made it to the post office

Big news this year, I found the technology of self sealing envelopes. No raccoon kisses on the letters this time, sorry

All the parts are done and ready to be assembled!

To minimize waste, all of the "thank you" tabs were made using the card cutting scraps.

I was excited to find some new stickers this year. Raccoon stickers with their woodland friends are hard to find! If you elect me for class president I will en

All cards are cut and scored by hand using my trusty little paper cutter (with guide wire of questionable straightness) and my scor buddy (we're friends). During this process I forget what life was before I became a paper cutter. There's only the endless paper and the rhythmic ssshhuck of the slider

Back at it again at the office store! I wonder if they remember me after doing this for years on end.

This year for the donation perk I thought I'd try my hand at making postcards and I love how they came out. I can already think of some improvements and hope to make better ones in the future.

After the initial sample print (which is always done in a hurry and never finished more than what the promotional picture will see), this was the trip to get all the official cards made.

Printers can be a finicky thing, so I made a samples to see which edit worded better in person.

Your personality is giving:

Haha yes Roudy, I can include a stamp for you in your card

Which one ya want?

Always take a banana to a cafe'.
Bananas are good.

Whenever I need to focus on an illustration, I always frequent the nearest coffee shop. The pleasant atmosphere and isolation do wonders for my concentration. ☕

Christmas drawing coming along slowly but steadily.
