"Twig Santa"

This rustic Santa, a former seminar piece, is painted on
a canvas board.  He would would be great framed for use
as part of your annual Christmas decor, or easily adapts to other surfaces.   I reworked the size of the wood "frame" behind him and painted this on a canvas floor cloth and it is one of my favorite treasures to unpack year after year! :)

"Christmas Countdown"


My two little boys have already been all over this project,
and the real "countdown" hasn't even begun yet! :) 
Each day is painted with a different symbol of the season
and the Santa you see in the center travels around
the calendar throughout the month to help you count
down to the big day!

Painting for gifts... a special joy! ♥
Maybe it's the fact that I'm expecting and hoping for a little bundle of pink,
or maybe it's just all of the cute nieces I already enjoy...

painting them up for your favorite little princess. :)
