Been collecting all these little guys for years (half price after Christmas)...with the exception of a couple I added from Hobby Lobby this year.
This little guy waits all year long to get decked out.
A BIG THANK TO to Melissa at: http://granvillehouse.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-touches-in-kitchen.htmlfor this great idea with the giant peppermint sticks from Dollar Tree.
My quilting buddy, Margie, made me the snowman pillow a few years ago. I still need to finish this Santa one I'm making to match.
NEXT STOP: Our sweet nativity on top of the piano. I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful season which reminds us of the greatest gift ever given. : )

Hi M.L. :)
Your home looks so cute! I love the idea of hanging something in the entry like that. I love each and every one of your santas, especially the one you made.
The post about your mom this week was really cute. You were so sweet to get her that puppy :)
Have a great day!
