Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Hi Everyone!

I've posted some photos from last Christmas to get into the Christmas Spirit. This nativity set is hand-carved from Israel. It's very nice!

This photo was not planned! Look at the light stream over the Baby Jesus!

I really like red candles and red glass at Christmas.

Here are some of my decorations. The taller Santa in the background is made out of paper mache and real sheep fleece for his hair and beard.

The angel in front of the Santa was purchased at the Salvation Army. She was only 25 cents!

This is another photo of the angel in the center background. She looks so peaceful!

Here's my hand-carved Noah and an elephant.

My sister sent me this Santa ornament when she lived in Hong Kong.

Here's a couple of my hand-made, cranky Santas.

They are made with paper mache, real sheep fleece, and hand painted.

Take care!

Christmas Vignettes

Merry Christmas!

Each Christmas, I love to create little "vignettes" around the house.

The center angel in this next photo was purchased at the Salvation Army store. I just had to take her with me because she needed a home. She is very calming and sweet.

My sister sent the next three angels to me from Hong Kong back in the 1990s. They are hand carved and very nice!

I made this Santa - he's made of paper mache with real sheep fleece for his hair and beard.

Here's some other favorites:

I didn't plan this next photo, but the light over the baby Jesus is profound, isn't it?

This hand carved nativity is from Israel.

Noah and the Ark!

More of my paper mache Santas!

Here's a mixed media of the 3 Wise Men worshipping the Baby Jesus. It's made with printed fabric, paper, and ribbon.

Merry Christmas to all!
