My new easel!

My absolute favorite Christmas present was made for me by my Uncle Jon. He is a carpenter and he made me a beautiful easel that I can use for chalk, markers, drawing, and painting. So far, I have only used the chalk board side (my mom says it's the least messy), but I just can't stay away from it. I can focus on drawing for a full half-hour--longer than most activities I do. It is so special because my uncle made it all by himself--and he made it just for me!
