Miniature Worlds

These miniature Through the Viewfinder photographs by James Spicer are so exciting and entertaining. They remind me of those claymation Christmas classics with Rudolph and Jack Frost, which I truly love and must watch every holiday season (no matter how old I get). Don't you want to be miniature and visit these fun, little worlds? {found via katy elliot}

For more holiday cheer, check out this Christmas video from AKQA. I've been obsessively watching it and sending it to all my friends.

Also, don't forget to dig out those old Christmas photos this weekend and send them my way for a holiday post and link-up!

Happy weekend and good luck getting your holiday shopping, wrapping, cooking, and loving done!

    That is just precious. My mother loves stuff like this, in fact she's obsessed with the Dickens village.

    These are awesome pics! Loving the sparkly snow. Of course we just got three feet of the real thing here in Toronto---I think I like it in these pics better than I like it outside my door ;)

    Hope you're having a great weekend!
