I am still looking for ways to incorporate Mrs. Claus into ornaments this year. Here is Mrs. Claus giving Santa a big face-burying hug upon Santa's return on Christmas morning. I think I will call this one the "Welcome Home" Santa.

A picture before and some after painting.

Millard,

Hey I like them both, great concept, and I think your spot on with the thoughts that Mrs. Santa will bring in additional sales that might not have otherwise been a sales. Good thinking on your part. Again, thanks forsharing.

Bill

It's nice to see Mrs. Clause. Nive job on her. Have you thought about doing the Penuts christmas characters as a set? I bet those would move. If they do, how about the other characters from those old Christmas shows?

Mrs. Claus is terrific. And the expression on Santa's face is priceless. Another idea is to turn Mrs. Claus's head 90 degrees. I always lay my ear on my husbands chest when I hug him. I know....a lot more work because you have to show her face. But it would be sooo sweet.

Terrific job as always.

She a most welcome site to old Santa after his long trips around the world on Christmas eve night. With her little smile Im sure old Santa can see it in every mile. She has the stove nice and warm as she greets him when he gets home.

She really a jolly little old lady herself Millard and you caught that just right in your carving plus your painting fits her just right. Just a all around super neat carving and thanks for sharing her with us.
