The Three Days More

Via The Hobbit's FaceBook page.

 Three days until The Battle of the Five Armies is on DVD. Prepare for Feels! Will you be buying/viewing it? Three days. . .oh me, oh my. *deep breath*

Also . . .
Which army do you belong to?
Take the quiz: https://hobbitarmies.thehobbit.com/

For me. . .
"You belong to the Army of the Dwarves
Dwarves are brave and loyal. They are persistent, prideful, and will fight to defend their brotherhood. The battle-axe is their weapon of choice. They love gold/treasure."

Do tell which it is for you!

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES

We've come to it at last.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Today this film of mixed emotions comes to cinemas.

We have made it. Counting down countless days and more days. And now, you know what?

It's here.

 "Will you follow me. . .One Last Time?"

  "I will not say 'Do not weep' for not all tears are evil."

With fangirlings and Feels and whatever else,

 I remain,

First off, lets all give each other and ourselves a pat on the back. We have all remained sane (for the most part) these through the long, long wait. And guess what? Cinco more days.

Five days.

One hundred and twenty hours.

7,200 minuets.

432000 seconds.

4.32e+8 milliseconds.
4.32e+11 microseconds.

4.32e+14 nanoseconds.

(A little less than that because it's later on in the day.)

(Yes, Les did do this a year ago. Thank you for the idea, sister! ☺)

"The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies" Count-down Calendar

With 11 days to go until TH:TBOTFA, we should do something special to count down, shouldn't we? Well, here you are. Here is a count-down calendar you can make. I made ours when we had 20 days left, but you can make yours starting now. It's not very hard to make, believe me. Therefore, we shall proceed.

Step one: Find a piece of thick cardboard (picture 1) and either a piece of thin cardboard or thick card stock (picture 2).

Step two: Cut your thinner material to however big you want to make your count down calendar. (Ours is about 9 inches by 15 inches.) Then place your thinner stuff on your thicker stuff and trace it (first half of the picture.) Once you have, take the thinner card board off (second half of the picture.)

Step three: Cut the traced shape out of the thicker card board with a knife (or whatever you cut things out with.) ☺

Here they are cut out~

Step four: Now for the fun part. Select the pictures you're going to use. (We used character posters {below} and other screen shots from the trailers.) You could draw them if you wanted to, but we just printed them out. Make sure that you have a picture for each day and that they're small enough to fit on the card board.

Step 5: (No picture.) Arrange where the pictures will go and what exiting picture will be the one for the day it comes out. Then glue them on to the cardboard.

Step 6: Out of the thinner card board cut shapes to fit over the pictures and write on the back what day it covers. Once you have all of them cut out, turn them over and tape them on at the top, making sure they can lift up.

Step 7: (In this picture you can see how I did step 6). Alright, now tape each flap shut.

Step 8: You can decorate it all fancy if you want, but we didn't. :) Although I did add this message. . .

Step 9: Write the amount of day left on each flap, and "THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES" on the last one.

Step 10: I think that's it. You're done!

I hope that this makes sense. If not, you can ask questions in a comment. There remains one more thing to do: go make yours! And have fun with it.

Be patient. ELEVEN DAYS.
