Special offer

Ornaments make Christmas. I like them and look who showed up?

By

I told my wife, I wanted nothing.

buy charlotte homes

We were scaling back this year, however she knows I have a fascination with trains and Christmas ornaments.

(Yes, I did buy her a present and she loved it !)

So look who showed up ?

She crafted them herself out totally of pine cones, sticks, and paint.  Priceless.

(A couple red noses fell off.)

Great gifts for a guy that thought he had too much stuff.

 

 I need stuff like this and I'm keeping her. (and them)

Cheers to all the gifts we receive. Many are priceless.

Claude, those are so cute!  What did she use for their heads and ears?  I'd like to try making some of these guys, although I'm not sure mine would turn out as nice as these.  Love them!
