Default Snowmen vs. elves
This is an old theme that I started when I started carving, but quit to do other carving.....and 2 years later. I got it out of the box and added bases, snowmen, and lots of snow balls. My grandchildren wanted an angry bird added to one of the elves...so he is throwing birds instead of snowballs. I think I will add a few things each year, to get the interest going each christmas. Snow men and elves are basswood and height of nine inches. It is a big project so I have to show it in a few frames. Merry holidays....from my home to yours. I remember these nasty fights when I was a kid in Ohio.....nothing like a snow ball fight.

Here are the elves....one with angry birds... My husband plays this game with full blast audio, just to annoy me....with the crash and breaking glass.
