Chanukah Chobbits!!!

[lavendertook]

Snowed in for a 3 day weekend is full of win, even if I have to take my only leave day for snow days. Today, I got out to the metro garage to check on the strays and was greeted by Ostra. A. had been there, but I cleared more of their feeding area and then dug out their shelter, which was snowed in, but dry inside. I'm well exercised and well slept. And I finally got a chance to do a hobbit photo shoot--yay!

Some of my holiday cards--most of the international ones--are in the mail, but most will go out this week and will hopefully make it before the new year. If you'd still like one, please leave me your address on the screened post here or send to my inbox.

Thank you frolijah_fan_54 for the pretty sparkly card, hildigard_brown for the card and shiny S/E love, jan_u_wine for the pretty card, cute oliphant, and wee hay bushel (which can be spotted in the pic below), and lbilover for the pretty, cool card, the wonderful Frodo stats card, the fic I'm looking forward to reading, and the most exquisite little Fro box, sweet on the outside and in--eeee, so beautiful! <3 *sknishes you all* :-D

Chanukah chobbits wish you a happy solstice! A little late, but they finally got a chance to sit down and celebrate Chanukah. belleferret, this one's for you! :-D

CHOBBITS PRELUDE TO A CHANUKAH CHISS


"If you keep looking at me like that, we're never going to get this one lit before sundown . . ."

Below the fake cut are 8 pics of the moment from different angles--let me know your favorite. Candle 1 would be mine, but there's one thing the light does that I'm not happy with there.

Follow the shamash candle to light the other 8 . . .

Awww, they're all adorable. :D I really like the closeups--Candles 4, 5 and 6, although they're all lovely. :)

LOVE being snowed-in. Love it, love it, love it!

I also love the caption of the hobbity-cute-pic. *hee*

My comment showed up somewhere else but will say again, how clever and authentic you've done these dolls up. It actually looks as if we're outside, peeking into their quiet hobbit hole.

It's a very cozy feeling to be snowed in and not have to go anywhere! We've not had any real snow yet -- just a dusting! I'd like it to stay that way as long as possible! :D

When you're prepared, it's good. (-:

Aww, wonderful pics! Our hobbits know how to celebrate any holiday in style. :))

And I'm glad your wee package arrived safe and sound. I was so worried the box would get squashed!!

Thank you! (-:

That would have been sad!!! I love it--such wonderful craftwork you put into it. Thank you so much! *squooshes more*

Hee, I just showed the first pic to Joy and Devin, and he thinks it's adorable, she's relieved to know I'm not the craziest of crazies! :-D
