Hey buddies,
Wow I didn't realize how long it's been.
I wait all year for the Christmas season and it goes by so scary fast.
First I wanted to show you my Santa that I carved from Palm tree wood right from the wild Sable Palm in our front yard. Matt who thinks I am a hoarder took my stash of palm fronds (of course I can't just collect 5 but who's counting really?) and Matt threw them on the burn pile hoping I wouldn't notice!!!
I ALWAYS notice!! One time when we lived in Hamburg, NY and had large garbage pickup, Matt thought he would sneak some of my wonderful weathered wood into the garbage pile to be picked up. Of course I noticed immediately and just as he would bring them down the driveway, I would take them back through the house into the basement. ha ha we still laugh about that.
So here is my latest Santa, he was really fun to carve.
We have been having lots of Christmas fun. Cutting down our Christmas tree.
the boat parade last weekend~
The kayakers including Santa always begin the parade.
And last but not least, Matt and Hope decorated the house with lights,great job huh?
I will try my best to be back tomorrow with a giveaway announcement.
Have a great night!
Hugs,
Helena
The house looks so festive - especially the Palm tree - cannot believe how its fronds have grown! love the new Santa made from Palm. I too have large pieces of Arizona bark -from a large Palm Tree, found on the ground after horrendous wind storm, outside one of our favourite restaurants. So it came home with me, as my Son-in law shook his head in disbelief at the Family he had married into!!!!!Love Mum - hmm, wonder where that "saving stuff" comes from?xxoo
