I made these for five of the people I'm giving presents to..
Emma, for my mom. I suck at tabbies.
Chessie for Diane and Ray. This one isn't very stellar in real life, either but does look good from a distance.
Tiz for Cornelia.. she was shocked that he played with feather toys. It'll crack her up. This one's my favorite, and the picture doesn't do it justice.
Middie in the "Dog House" for my dad. The present is a calendar of outhouses (I know it sounds weird, but he'll LOVE it) and the doghouse is modeled after a nice-looking barn he insisted I take pictures of when we drove by it, because he liked the weathering and wants to imitate it on some scale buildings for his train layout. He'll love it, and get the many jokes in the picture.. in some ways I think the drawing itself is a better present, even though I know the calendar is perfect.
