Santa Painting

Santa Painting

Okay, I promise to stop posting about Christmas (2011) after this. This little guy was one of my favorite projects of the season.  I saw one (in gray) in a pottery barn catalog a long time ago and wanted one in red.  So I put my cookie tools to use again to paint this guy. […]
