Default What Have I Done!!!

A few years ago I asked my wife to paint my Santas. Fist thing she said was I can't paint. Well I think I may have to go back to painting them my self. She taught herself to paint and just finished this computer desk, chair, and bookcase for a customer. We bought the unfinished furniture from the Amish and the lady told Anna what she wanted on it. Anna did all the sanding staining and painting on this project. Now she will have to teach me to paint Santas.

Help Wanted.

Oh Mrs Goody, that is very nice! Did you not let the old man carve anything little thing on it at all. Back of a drawer, bottom of a shelf.......

Oh Goody, they are gorgeous! My congratulations to your wife. I hope she keeps up the great work, that could be a whole new line of work for her. Unfortunately it means that you are right....and would have to paint your own Santa's! But, ain't it great being married to such a talanted lady? And I hear she bakes the best cookies this side of the Rockies!!! You're a lucky man!

Sounds like she has a new business on her own. Well done!
I'm sure that will be cherished for generations.
Maybe she will still be able to squeeze in painting your Santas for you. From the looks of them, I think she enjoys doing them too.
