Vintage Santa and Sleigh
I got this cutie last year but it didn't arrive until after christmas. i love him. i remember my grandmommy having one that she would put chocolates in his santa sack. he'll need some TLC soon as the base got a bit damaged while it was being stored......

Christmas Decorations
I've truly been looking forward to decorating for Christmas this year. We were away for x-mas last year to spend the holidays with my family in Tennessee. We didn't really bother with the tree and all the trimmings. I opened each box with delight today remembering some some of the things I made year before last. One of my favorites is this recycled Christmas card wreath......
It's very easy to make, if you would like to have a go. I always save my cards and had quite a pile. I bought a styrofoam (might undo all the good of re-using the cards but ha-ho) and traced a holy shape onto each one.
After cutting out enough to give me a hand cramp.... I hot glued each one to a cocktail (toothpick) stick and stuck it into the styrofoam. bingo bango, your done. Here's a picture from the side angle to show you how I've stuck them in.
