Years ago I was very involved with tole painting and thought I'd show you the favorite things we made. I say 'we' as Mike cut them out and I painted them. First is the children's nativity play and second is our 'Old Western' Christmas village. Each business is named for our family.
Oh, they're gorgeous! Well done to both of you. Thank you for posting those photos, they brought a big smile to my face.
It's online shopping for me also. If I had to fight the crowds and traffic it would be a Bah humbug Christmas for this family.
Oh wow....those tole painting scenes are just stunning!!! What fun you must have had making those!! Really nice, thank you so much for sharing!
This is or Christmas card to you and yours. http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2015/12/although-its-been-said-many-times-many.html
We had a really fun Christmas!!! Me yelling at my son Devin in text, trying to get him to get UP for Christmas... Santa came! My grandkids were SO HAPPY!!!! The tree after the Santa spread but with both my sons' Cameron and Devin's gifts added, before we tore into everything again. Cameron wraps his gifts so beautifully. They are all completely coordinated, and really are just works of art. Every year he does something different with his wrapping choices, but ever year they look stunning. I mean, come ON, how can you not feel like you're desecrating a work of art to rip into this??? Before and after Part of the aftermath. Excuse Cameron's cavernous yawn! My daughter Paige, SIL William and grand babies River and Lucy. They're about to head out to William's family, for Christmas #2 and #3 And dear me this!!!!!!!! Strange flavored sodas. One of Cameron's gifts to the family! And yeah, they tasted about as weird/strange/gross as you'd expect!!
"And yeah, they tasted about as weird/strange/gross as you'd expect!!" I am so glad you said that. I wasn't going to say a thing.... gulp... gross beyond thought for all those flavors. who whuudda thunk those up? someone who had too few things to do? .... but they are running all the way to the bank, laughing.
I am very glad you guys enjoyed out card and I enjoyed your posts as well. FYI We really did drag our camper to the woods for Christmas, set up our tacky aluminum tree and had fun with the dogs just like the card showed. Less the skunk...... thankfully.
