Personally, I think this was one of the sweetest presents ever. Especially since I saw how much work went into it.
Making the animals took much longer than we'd anticipated (even with me and Joey's best friend helping out). And the glue was still drying on the panda bear and turtle as we headed out to June's First Friday Art Walk the night before the party. We returned home at about 9 o'clock that night and Joey, undaunted and possibly inspired by all the art galleries we'd just visited, locked herself into my sewing room to put together the following video.
This one was well over 500 pictures and I had to confiscate the laptop around midnight in order for her to get some sleep. She put the finishing touches on it the next morning and still had plenty of time to get all glammed up for Jaden's celebrity themed party.
Which was just a whole bunch of awesomeness in and of itself.

I've had this open in a tab for days, wanting to really take the time to watch the whole vid! I finally did it and I am so glad. Joey is such a creative and talented little girl and she is wonderful. Thank you for sharing her work with all of us!
P.S. I demand more party pics, if you have them. Celebrity theme?! That sounds too fun!
Karin, ask (or demand, your choice :) ) and you shall receive.
Here is a special link to get to see my 'friends and family' photos from the day. The ones without watermarks aren't digitally post processed (so that's why they aren't as good as the rest), but they still show a little more of the party... I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much! Off to see them now.
The video is absolutely amazing! Fantastic job, Joey!!
Hi Wendy! I hope you're doing well and still check the comments on your blog =o) I've always thought this video that Joey made was AMAZING and was wondering what software she used to put all the images together into one stop-motion animation? Was it the same software that did the end-credits? Thanks SOOO much, I would LOVE to make my own (inspired by Joey!) but am not sure what software to use. =o).
Riimus, sorry, I guess I don't check comments so often anymore. Anyway, she just used the basic Windows Live Movie Maker, though there are many better ones out there.
