Default Enter Mrs. Santa

If you are a Santa carver like me and hope for Santa carving sales to suppliments your income some, you may be a little concerned as to how much extra pocket money may be acquired this year due to the economy. Will our regular collectors say,"you know, I have a lot of Santas, I think I'll pass this year." Maybe this is the year to add another selection to intice them.....,.Mrs. Santa Claus. I think I am going to give it a try and see what happens. That said, here's the story.

Santa has always considered Mrs. Claus to be a real looker but when she gets all purtied up for when he comes home Christmas morning after his long trip around the world, he thinks she is so pretty he can barely stand it! You can see the excitement in her eyes as she anticipates Santa's return any minute.

Great job, Millard!

I've carved a few Mrs. Clauses myself and really enjoy her. Her face is fabulous! It's so smooth, it almost looks like clay!

Thank you for your positive comments everyone and, Jillsy, Mrs. Santa's face is so smooth because she uses Polar Bear grease on it every night.
