Deborah,
Very nice Santa. I love him. I really like the fur on the coat - it looks sooo real. I am so glad you posted a pic. PIcs are such an inspiration to us all. Thanks for posting him. Outstanding job!

Thanks for all the great compliments everyone!! In answer to the questions, yes, he's already at the Gallery. No, there won't be a base, I found out early that the collectors don't like bases because they like to group their collections, makes sense!

Bill, I hope there isn't snow yet, we had a pretty good frost last night though, does that count?!

Big brother....you're in the will.....Mel, since you're my greatest fan you'll be next in line! Deborah
