Holiday Gifts!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The holiday season is coming!
  That is how I usually feel each year, but I think I am actually on top of it this time. Then again, I have felt that way before and later found myself paying for expedited shipping and knitting away into the wee hours of the night.
  In an effort to remove some stress from this inevitably bustling stretch of the year, I am making an early last call for holiday commissions. I can only accept orders for small paintings or custom decals at this time. Alternatively, there's always prints and knick knacks from Fine Art America and I will launch my Etsy shop as soon as my first run of vinyl decals arrive.
  Feel free to run any ideas by me if you are unsure about timeline or need a quote.
  As always (whether you make a purchase or are just here to rest your eyes), thanks for your help in keeping alive the practice of making these completely non-functional, horribly inefficient, entirely handcrafted works of art in our fast-moving, highly mechanized, digitized world.
