    Final flight - destination: unknown

    I did this last night and it took me longer than expected. I had been hoping for a 5 minute build and it took closer to 30 minutes.
     
    I figured it would be a simple matter of cutting it out, folding it and taking a picture. Lessons learned: (1) cutting out takes longer than expected (especially if you want to stay on the lines), (2) 20lb (75g/m2) paper is too thin for (easy) folding - it flexes far too easily to slip tab A into slot B - a nice card stock would have been better (but that won't feed through my laser printer).
     
    This year, I did not push myself as hard as I did the first year I did TaD (when I posted something every day) - I even took the 3rd week off. But, I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed seeing all the other projects people made (and being inspired by them).
     
    Don't know what I am going to do for next year. However, I am leaning towards having some sort of theme / plan in place rather than winging it every single day.
     
    Now, to spend the next few days going over posts I know I missed ...

    I've missed some of your posts too. Had very sad family issues.. so it wasn't the best time for creativity and stuff.
    Anyway, I want to thank you for your support :)
    And for your amazing ability to keep surprising and inspiring people! :)

    See you next year! ;)

    @chrishoneybee, sorry to hear about your family issues. i enjoyed seeing your posts when you did post...

    @richard, paper models are fun, nice way to end tad. i think it's usually true for me that a project always takes longer than i anticipate, even something seemingly simple. like chrishoneybee, wanted to thank you for your support. i love the ingenuity and method of presentation in your tads!
