I've only got a few more things left on my table to finish painting. I promised myself I'd stop mid-November so I could be stress-free for my family and my own 'peace of mind'.
These are some of my items I've just completed.
I take them out in flat boxes and spray them down (with Krylon Matte Spray) before assembling. I still have another 4 boxes to finish up and then I'll drag my 'feet' on the assembly part for a few days, at least!
I've also completed all of my sewing and am now 'stuffing' and 'clothing' my pieces.
Primitive Ginger men, candy canes, Santas, Turkeys, and the Holy Family are all in this box and being completed for gifts. I might save one or two for my Etsy. We'll see.
I'm still battling a cold and loss of voice. While it's annoying to me, my family is loving the quiet. I am a LOUD person and seem to be the last one to realize it! I think it goes along with being so darned TALL!
Hope you're getting your Holidays organized and not fretting over them. It's just not worth it to you or your family to carry that burden at a time that we should be giving "Thanks" and celebrating.
I'll have my last Giveaway in another week so.......
Stay Tuned!!

That little snowman and santa and turkey look like they will be so adorable. Can't wait to see what the stuffed pieces will be. Have a great week. Cyndy
Gosh you have been a busy girl and what a great plan to do it all by mid-November so you can enjoy the season, think I might have to adopt your plan too Vicky. Seems we wait for this holiday season all year long and then wind up being too busy to enjoy it, you are a very smart girl! And I LOVE your little red-nosed creation I am spying in your box, he is looking adorable already! Hope you are feeling better soon and in fine VOICE to go along with your height!! Thanks for sharing your pictures and your friendship! {{Hugs}}, Deb
