Hey Gang, We finally got our Nutcracker Santa to Folkworks. We have posted it on our Picture Trail site, if anyone might want to see it. Just click on our e-mail Picture Trail site at the bottom of this message and click first album. Curtis and Charlotte Gibbs

Absolutly breathtaking is all I can say to describe your work you are really really talented people. I am going to make sure I get to folkworks early next year I might just buy one of your santa's.

Well, Im far too old to be adopted, but maybe I can sponge a bit of your talent! Those are wonderful pieces. All you Santa carvers put me in awe. I would never have though there could be so many original adaptations of a single theme, but just look at what you've done!

Thanks Al, I guess with Santa one can always have new ideas. Curtis said to tell you that we are old enough to adopt anyone we want and we would be proud to adopt you!
Teri, are you packing ? Curtis and Charlotte
