Chas, I love the mop head Santa! You are so creative in taking ordinary items and making them extraordinary! These would be fun Christmas projects with children too. So happy to be part of this talented team of bloggers! So many wonderful Christmas ideas.
Thank you so much Mary, what a great idea to include kids in making the projects.
So many creative projects here, Chas! Your flower pot characters are really cute and the glass snowman is beautiful! I especially like snowman projects because you can leave those decorations up through January without people thinking you still have your Christmas decorations up! Although there are always those that leave those Christmas decorations up until Easter! Do you have those neighbors too?
Thank you Chloe, and yes – me too, I love projects and decor that I can leave up for a season 🙂
I loved all of your ideas! Your are so creative…that Santa mop head brought back childhood memories…my mom had one! Now I’m ready to start getting ready for Christmas!
