Nearly every year we make our own Christmas cards for our friends and family. We wanted this card to look like a cheesy B-horror movie. It was printed poster size, folded, and mailed out to our families who proceeded to lavish us with praises for our creativity. Then they asked us who the heck Vin Diesel was.

This one actually won second place in the famous Joe Blundo Christmas contest for the Columbus Dispatch. We won a whopping fifty bucks. Woohoo :D

Nearly every year we make our own Christmas cards for our friends and family. This one was a bit over ambitious & nearly killed us. But getting a pop-up card in the mail is just about the greatest thing ever. We went through a lot of X-acto blades :D

Just look at how happy Alison is to get a Christmas groundhog, who in turn is happy to get a tomato from her garden.

Ain’t had nothin’ but maggoty bread for 3 stinkin’ days? Then go to Snaga's BBQ. They have all you can eat hobbit legs after all! Snaga is one of our favorite LOTR orcs because he has one of the whiniest quotes in the flick.

YEAAA! Why cant's we have some meats?!?!

This felt 10th Doctor plush features posable, sticky-uppy hair—just like David Tennant's—a super cool removable trench coat, a sonic screwdriver, and real 3-D glasses. I made this for our friends' son's second birthday party.

Just something we did for fun! Crumb's iconic social statement and... uh... zombies. Cause "walkers" will just continue truckin' until you introduce a samurai sword to their frontal lobe.

Jason has a reputation for making some pretty neat Christmas gifts for me. This is one of my favorites! He drew mini cards of my favorite movie and TV characters saying my most-liked quotes... Predator (my favorite movie eva), Snaga from LOTR, Jaws, They Live (Jason is terrible at spelling, heehee), and Doctor Who. Oh, and cute little pic of Muppet Us.

The greatest Christmas gift I ever made for Jason! And perhaps the best M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie evah.

The main components ware a 12″ GI Joe body and a vintage Wheelchair Becky Barbie Doll wheelchair. The pants and boots came with the Joe figure, but I made the coat and shirt by hand. The coat is a soft purple fabric on the inside and a black satin on the outside, complete with pockets to stash his comics in. I found a glass cocktail drink stirrer at a flea market and molded the top and bottom of the cane to it. And of course I hand painted his face, hands, and wheelchair.

“This is an art gallery, my friend, and this is a piece of art.” 

Yeah, I'd be scared of that basement too. The only thing more horrifying than giant spiders is the small spider with the really blobby looking butt that's all jacked up in the air like it's going to sting you. I shudder at those spiders.

True story...I drank spider coffee once. It was unintentional, for sure. The poor guy crawled into my coffee cup before I poured the brew. I didn't notice him until I finished the last drop. You know when you eat cookies & sometimes have crumbs in the bottom of your mug when you're done? Well, I didn't eat any cookies. I was pretty disgusted to notice the spider, but Jason thought it was a real hoot. He was standing by in anticipation to see if I developed super spidey powers.
