Smile finally finished painting

Merry Christmas everyone! These are all the ornaments that I have been asked to carve this season. As anyone that has read my posts know, I am still pretty new to this. Overall I am pretty happy with most of my ornaments. The first picture is a closeup or the ornaments and the second picture is me holding all my ornaments.

Top left is the cone penguin I carved for my niece in Sioux City IA, she loves penguins.Next to that is the golf ball I carved for my dad (twice), The relief Santa is a Broach for my Mom, the snowman with a broom is for my youngest Grandson Scotty. The little relief snowman is a broach for my Mother In Law, the light color relief squirrel is a pendant for my wife and the dark one is for her best friend in Florida. Second row is an Elf for my oldest grandson Kyler, Then a Santa for My Daughter Jessica in Arizona, next to that is a Santa for one of my twin daughters Ashley, Then a Santa for my Oldest Daughter Sara, and a Santa for the other twin Amber. The small Santa is for my niece in Bellevue, NE Sydney. The hanging Santa is for my middle grandson Kaden and last but certainly not least is the Squirrel holding the candy cane for my incredible wife.

I guess while typing this I just realized I did not carve myself an Ornament So I guess it is back to the carving bench tonight.

Comments always welcome
Steve

Those are all very nice and show a good variety. I am sure everyone will be proud of you for making these gifts for them.

A really nice group of ornaments. Kind of look like cookies, spread out on the tray like that.
