Creek, No I never had the directions. My son mad it in a special clas he was in on HS. (He was in the Gifted and Talented class) They made it at school. I do remember that the pages were folded in halo at an angle from the top corner to make santa' belly. His jacket was cut from red felt and trimed in white felt., as was his hat with a white pom=pom. His face was one of the soft plastic that I have seen in craft shops and he had a black belt made from a plastic material. He had a beard made from white curly doll hair. That's about all I remember, It shouldn't be too hard, just getting the deminisions for the jacket, arm length , ect. Wish I still had him, but somewhere along the way he disappeared. Too many little fingers and time has depleted a lot of my "treasures". That same year he made a Holy Family from Faces, empty pringle cans and material dipped in glue to stiffen it and all spray painted gold. I don't have that anymore either, only the memories. Sorry, whish I could be of more help. I have a large Santa collection, all different kinds and sizes. My Dh has givrn me a santa erery year since we've been married-- a total of 18 and I have been given a lot by my kids for gifts,Besides the ones I have bought. I"m running out of space amd can'y display all of them at one time. Would love to have a bigger house at Christmas time, but that would just mean more vaccuming, dusting and moppin the rest of the year, and that is not one of my favorite pasttimes. How is your wreath made. I love trying different things. Last night my DD and I worked on a grapevine wreath decorated in ivy and white roses to use on a gate for my GD's upcoming wedding. I once saw a t=shirt that had a picture of a man and the saying printrd on it said"I can fix anything, just had me the duck tape" I think we women need one that says" I can make anything, just hand me a hot glue gun" Enjoy your posts and love your pictures. I doubt that I will get a chance to learn to post pics until after my two GC' upcomming weddings in Aug and Sept. I' going to have to get the GC to teach me hoe to post pictures.Love the pics of your creek, Love the sound of running water. Take care & stay cool. Janet

you're more than welcome...enjoy the rest of the season!

Lots of French horns for sale on Etsy and eBay—I checked! My 26 wreaths have arrived and the Etsy lady just shipped the velvet bows. I wanted a deep red without a hint of that orangey hue you find in most outdoor red velvet bows. I also wanted just four loops and no really long tails. She made them for five dollars each and I am happy to have the full number of them without going to different stores. i recommend her highly if you’re interested, TinaM.

Perhaps Michael’s would have them. Trader Joes has had very nice real pine wreaths in the past,. i have used them between the doors without any problem. i generally add my own decorations..
