My gifter did a better job buying me the perfect present, than I am! I opened an Amazon.com box and inside was a book that I had been wanting called A Search in Secret India. But even better, was a book that I had not been wanting... had not even known existed... about making stop-motion animations. I'm so excited! I've already found about 10 of the animation movies the book was talking about to watch and I've written the outline to my first REAL stop-motion animation short. Now comes the hard part. For now, though, I have an awesome book to finish reading.

I should also mention that a couple days after receiving this book, a Kickstarter got started by Charlie Kaufman, Dan Harmon, and the guy that did Moral Orel to get funding for a stop-motion animation they intend to make.

Thank you my secret giver! I made you something in return... see the pictures below.
