Gobble, Gobble and Deck the Halls!

I know I can't believe I already have Christmas up, it's still November! But my creative friend Susan said the only day she had available was this past Sunday so I jumped at the chance to have her help! My sweet friend Susie the elf helped too! So between the three of us it took from 9am to 6pm! We were exhausted but it turned out beautiful!

This photo doesn't even give justice to how beautiful the tree looked. I need to get my friend Charlene over here and take some better shots!

This is the mantle in the living room with of coarse..another Santa!

I love to give Santas!

I love Christmas time and I love giving friends and loved ones my Santas. This is my favorite Santa that I've made so far. It's a Harry Potter Santa! I loved making all the text books but the "sorting hat" took several attempts. I kept this one!

I tried to put everything in from the books and movies, the mirror, the dragons, the wizard's cup, Harry's trunk and of coarse the owls. I know it's silly but I love everything about the stories.

I wish I could say that this is only the second Santa that I have kept but it's one of many that I just couldn't let go of! I have my work cut out for me this year, I have 3 more to make and deliver before Christmas! Yikes!

Family Wedding Portraits

When I think of the holidays I think of  time with family so it got me thinking, why not show some family wedding portraits! These photos span through out the years but one thing seems to remain the same, the father of the bride is usually not smiling! Is he thinking about the bill or do his feet just hurt in those fancy shoes??? Hope you enjoy the photos!

Thank to you all for coming to my blog and spending a few minutes to read my silly poems and enter my first giveaway! No worries though, I'm hooked, I'll be doing many giveaways  in the future. Keep stopping by because my November-December Christmas surprize will really be wonderful. I started it a while back and still have to complete it before I post it. I'll give you a hint...... it's small enough to fit down your chimney but bigger than a bread basket. Do I have your interest? Good! A post will be coming soon. Hope you all had a wonderful fun filled Halloween, we had almost 300 trick-or-treaters so we're pooped! See you soon!-Cindy
