Default Should We Start Thinking Christmas?
It's August and I usually start Christmas Projects about now. I was just wondering if anyone on the message board has some new ideas for Christmas. Here's a Santa ornament I just finished. It's 2.5" x 4". It's the first one I have made since last year about this time. It must be the hot weather, but I'm having a hard time getting inspired! Is anyone interested in an ornament idea exchange to get things started??

That is a Santa to inspire more Santa carvings! Love the glasses, but the eyes behind the glasses are so fine too! Thanks for showing it to us.
95 degrees here during the day, and NOT thinking about Christmas yet.
