I've been working on a few projects to put on my etsy shop for Christmas.

It feels strange painting holiday crafts when it's sunny and warm outside and temps in the 70s, and I find myself humming Christmas tunes after coming home from shopping because the stores are now playing holiday music, isn't that crazy! The holiday decorations are going up everywhere.

This is a painting I did on wood. An old vintage Stanta Claus.

"All hearts come home for Christmas" sign.
"Tis the season" sign.
"Believe".
"Jingle Bells" wood sign, with little jingle bells attached to the red and white ribbon.
"Deck the Halls".

Cardinal note cards.


And, this is a marble chaser Galen made in the shop and I painted. Special ordered, it's going to be shipped to a little guy just in time for Christmas.


This is the "tortoise and the hare racing marble chaser". There are two tracks starting at the top where you can race the black marbles and the white marbles to see who wins!







More to come! Keep checking back.

You HAVE been busy! I can just imagine how happy some little boy will be Christmas morning unwrapping a present to find a marble chaser! Wonderful Christmas signs and old world Santa Donna.

I'm so excited! Today I bought your cardinal cards! I have a friend who loves cardinals and they'll be the perfect gift. Unless I decide to keep them, which might just happen....Mimi

Living in Texas I too am having trouble with getting in the Christmas mood since it is so warm! I guess us gals from the south have to count our blessings (not having to shovel the walk, long COLD winters...) but, sometimes it taxes our imagination doesn't it????
