Every year, its been tradition whenever this festive holiday comes around, me and my sister mess up our entire room till it looks something like this...

..for the sake of making our aunts and friends Christmas presents! :D
Therefore, I shall present the
head elf. My one and only sister. Her creative outlet runs deep, and she's pretty awesome. * If it wasn't obvious. I'm Santa. NYEH. :P * Just to fill out the team, the other elves that pop in from time to time : my cousin all the way from Australia and my daddy. :)

Together, for the past two days, we modeled figurines out of Sculpey clay and paper clay, wrapped the entire household's gifts, made gift tags and cards. But, I believe pictures would illustrate the
work-in-progress more clearly.

Just popped the modeled clay into the oven. It won't be long now. :D
FIY: I've stretched my non-existent artistic skills so far for this. Seriously. Art and crafts are not exactly my prime forte. XD
