I've posted pictures on my picturetrail site of the recent SantaFest, some of my newest carvings, and of course, a few pictures of my Angel in her new wedding dress :-)

Great pictures, Teri, thanks for sharing! Angel does look beautiful, I think she found the perfect dress!
All the Santas are wonderful too, I think my favorite is the light house one also, although it's hard to choose!!
Santa Fest looks like a blast! Callynne

Thanks for sharing the photos with everyone Teri. Kenny, I don't know why we weren't smiling or just not smiling at the camera that took that photo. There were a couple of different people taking pics at the same time, and it was hard to tell who was taking them....and when they were taking them. It was a blast to get together with everyone and see all of the different styles of Santas that everyone came up with. The days are long at Santa Fest, and your feet are killing you by the time its over, but its well worth the time and effort to get there and see everyone. I must admit sometimes wether we all show up to try and sell our Santas....or just to sit and crack jokes with...and at...each other all weekend....there is nothing more dangerous than a group of woodcarvers all together under one big tent for 3 long days. We did have alot of fun though. Thanks again Teri for sharing the photos of our weekend. Dave

I understand. Maybe the people on the left feet were hurting more than those on the right. Interesting to see faces with names. Yes, With Teri's pictures, There were some excellent carvers there sharing their work and skills. Maybe one day!!!! :

Well, you see, the people on the left were in the middle of a knock-down, drag-out scuffle just moments before the picture was snapped.....someone yelled 'picture' and they stood up, looked up...but apparently forgot to smile. Just after the last camera click, they went back to their brawl. It wasn't pretty, but everyone was bailed out by end of day and another SantaFest was behind us :-)

Um..er....uh....isn't that the way it went, Dave?
Well, that's my story...and I like it.

My bets were on the lady smiling next to the carved santa. Maybe that was why she was smiling, she wupped up on them good ol boys. Teri, I like your story also!

Yes Kenny, you obviously know Cyndi...she probably could wup all of us. She has that 'cute, shy & innocent' thing happening in that picture....but....don't be fooled by that, shes a little firecracker that held her own with all of us mouthy woodcarvers ( yes...mouthy woodcarvers....and we were led by Teri of course!)
