I answered an ad on craigslist for free stuffed animals. And ended up with about three dozen. I was going to do a little impromptu errr...art installation. Smuggle them into 170 Dwinelle before class and put them all in the seats (complete with paper and pencil of course). The more morbid side of my sense of humour was rooting to just string them all up in a tree. But of course I never got around to either one. My project list is way too backed up.

But as the christmas season rolled around, it seemed like such a terrible waste. Putting a smile on some kid's face is worth more than my temporary amusement. Besides, it's not like I'm so hard to amuse. So I washed them all--all six loads of them--and prettied them up with some ribbon and candy. And got them ready to send off to their new homes.

But before we said our final farewells, we had a little photo session. See, they're also my christmas cards. It's my version of a donation was made in your name, as I am too broke to actually donate any money. Heh.

And to add a dash of character, I'm going to give a little background information on each.
