Christmas's past hold so many memories for me. I'm going through all of my Christmas storage this year. I made these little wood ornaments about 30 years ago. I made them for my new little son. Actually he wasn't very little. He was 10lbs and 23inches long. I remember making them because that was the year I used my new band saw. I didn't even know, but I had cut up the middle of my left thumb nail. That was the first of many many many accidents with machines, scissors, pins, clamps, chemicals, and wood. Oh well, it goes with the job. You get better with practice!
About 8 years ago I decided that I wanted to do a Santa Tree. I've been collecting every year. I put this tree in my living room this year. This tree looks really good with my collection of Christmas with Southern Living books, (1996-2009).
What a neat collection of magazines! And the tree with all it's memories and Santa's looks so cute too! My little 2 yr. old grandson is going around singing; "Jining them bells" over and over..guess he's got the spirit too! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteOh the santas from the 80's!!! Everything wooden.

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
