My Homemade Chrsitmas Decorations

This wooden mouse is wearing a Mickey Mouse watch although I am not sure you will be able to see it.

I have had a few people ask me to post my Christmas decorations. I did post a lot of them last year but I have since acquired a few and rearranged so I will post them again. This post will just show the things I have painted or made over the years and I will post the other things later. Just so you know, I am not posting these things to boast or show off although I am proud of my work and am happy to share. Some of the items are rather small so you may have to enlarge to get detail.



I painted all the skinny Santas but not the chubby one.
I painted the two tall ones but the smaller one is a collectible from an artist in Cheyenne, Wy.



This is a relief tole painted item. The tiny socks actually hang from the mantel as does the wreath.



This is a large Santa head that I painted on cut out wood. It is made of 6 different pieces of wood.



I painted the the children from around the world on a wooden plate



Painted wooden sled of candy canes and a rose.




The glittery Santa on the left is a new one from Broadbents.....a wonderful general store in Lehi. The other two I painted.




This is a new plaque that I painted and covered with scrapbook paper.







I painted the Mrs. Santa, the advent picture and made the angels.





I painted this Santa on fabric so the paisley that you can see is actually the fabric showing through.



Wooden angel




Santa cookie jar lid.





Elf stocking holder. His left leg protrudes from his body by a dowel.
