~one more look at Christmas~


I came across this picture taken at my daughter's house a recent Christmas. The tree and the 2 santas are my papier mâché

Shadow Shot Sunday (for Jan 1, 2012)


~~~




~

This was taken at my son and DIL's house just before Christmas!
This little Elf-Wannabe Santa stood near the front door,  greeting the guests  who came to their Christmas party!


 I love the way the shadows from the window fall across that little corner-don't you?  




Love,
Junie

Ruby Tuesday~Dec 20, 2011~Santas in red around my house

~~~



~

Here are some Santas in red around my house!
I collect Santa figures of all types. Some of these are handmade by me-some are vintage and some are from recent years! They are all equally charming to me!














































I love santas...I guess you've noticed!

:)


Love,

Junie

These are some of my Santas with just a touch of Mellow Yellow.

Two of the four Mellow Yellow santas are my own creation.
Can you guess which ones I made?

Midweek Blus_Dec 14, 2011_ Blue Skis Santa




 ~See more Midweek Blues posts here~
~~~
"Lets Ski," says this happy santa!

LOL - OK - I collect Santas (Kid that I am!!)
and I like this guy a lot!

He's probably not anything so special to most observers! I got him at Wal-Mart one year in the 'after Christmas' mark down sales! 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I like his bright blue skis and his big, inviting, smile that just seems to say, 
"Come join me - Let's Ski!"
:)
 
 Love,
Junie

Face Book post...about my Christmas header...

 
(posted on FB today)
~~

FRUSTRATED as all Get Out!!!

Been trying to change my blog header to a Christmas one...and can't get rid of part of a code... (">)...I'll never understand all this computer stuff...and it's truly amazing that I'm able to figure out as much as I do!! (I hate computers!! hahaha) This is the header I put up there-but with an annoying little blemish on the left side of my picture!

Ruby Tuesday_ Jan 4, 2011-Putting away Christmas

Putting away Christmas...one Santa at a time...






***
Over many years I have collected lots of santas! I've also created many of my own in Paper Mache,Painted Gourds and Cypress Knee Santas.
 
Gourd Santas



Cypress Knee Santa



Paper Mache Santas














These are just some of my Santas,
(the ones that made the scene this time) ready to be put away until next December.



A new tropical Santa from Lauren and Alan. (My nephew and and his wife)
Isn't he cute?  :)





...and a few more...

( Chef- from Tina last year )






Yes! I'm a kid who never grew up, I guess, because I still enjoy my Santas each holiday season...a lot!

:)


Love,
Junie

My husband is there among the various Santas!  :)

 Mellow Yellow Monday

This is one of my Gourd Santas 
~ dressed in yellow/gold/natural!

FYI
(for those interested)

This is a gourd santa I made. It's made with wood burning tools (the face, beard, etc) then painted and finished with a spray varnish sealer. It's not an ornament  but a free standing figure about 14 inches tall.
