Santa, Santa, Santa! and PPF #38

I've painted TWO new

Chinese bottle gourd Santas


The Santa Boys!


paperclay base








Vintage sheet music snowflakes!













a Holiday Swap gift!





love Christmas and Santa and love to paint,

visit more talented painters at Paint Party Friday


I'm a Santa 'groupie'. Is there a group I could join for folks with Santa addictions? Back to work this week after 3 months of learning to live with new hips. My Doc did an awesome job and the rehab is now up to me. I painted a lot during my recovery period, started my ETSY shop and made a bunch of very talented friends on line. A little apprehensive about returning back to the corporate world ... but off I go! Thanks for the visit - it means a lot!

    these are fantastic - so much detail in them and I love the clay bases and the way you've scripted them.

    Thank you so much for your order of cards!

    Oh my gosh. You have no idea how much I love these. I even pictured in my head where they would sit every christmas. They are fantabulous, I love them. Everything about them, the bases are perfect.

    Very cute!
    I really like the text bordering the base of this...especially the word "GRATITUDE." :)

    Happy PPF!!

    These gourd Santas are wonderful. I too love Santa and believe there is a need for a group to support us in our addiction, er I mean devotion. Good luck with the hip replacement recovery.
