Default Christmas Spirit

Just thought I'd help get ya'll in the christmas spirit,enclosed is a picture of
our "Sentimental Santa Mantel".It contains 45 hand-carved santa's of all shapes and sizes,and no I didn't do them all,I had plenty of help.We have taken them
down every year until this year and I think they are up to stay. take a
peak and look out for the christmas spirit.

Those are EXCELLENT!

I'm a new carver, have one carved and ready for paint. (Still trying to get to that paint job!)

I can't wait to have a collection like that, those are absolutely terrific!

(a few more pictures wouldn't hurt! )

Thanks for the post!
