But enough about me :)
You did a marvellous job making this Santa look tall and almost 3-D, Mary.
He really is reaching out beyond the image.
Fav'd! #11210789

Well, SSSKiki and I are Sisters so what else can I say? At least she and I will get exactly what we want for Christmas. And apparently we both think very highly of this cool creation, too, Mare! Great minds think alike and we LIKE! I hope your Christmas was really nice! Ours was. We spent most of it at the rest home and when we left HUGE flakes of snow came gently falling as if to tell us we spent our day wisely. I played the piano for the old folks, too. It was a special day/evening. #11212754

P.S. I also STILL cannot type. I guess if I had been a GOOD GIRL I could have asked for Santa's help with this ongoing anomaly! (Sigh!) #11212755

Hi, Pom! Did Christmas go by like a snap of the fingers, or what?! But we enjoyed a really special day at my niece's home ~ we spent the entire afternoon and night talking and eating, eating and talking,and lots of photo taking, and suddenly it was 11 PM! So we headed home, jumped in our jammies, and continued our sugar rushes via home-made fudge, which explains my writing to you at 5 AM!
Sounds like you had a merry little Christmas, too. GOOD! You SO deserve it!
Now if we all can just maintain that sense of family and generosity, the world can be a wonderful place throughout 2015!!
P.S. I still hunt and peck, too, and have to proofread EVERYthing! We will always have so much in common, Pommers. And that's a very merry thought!

But we enjoyed a really special day at my niece's home ~ we spent the entire afternoon and night talking and eating, eating and talking, and lots of photo taking, and suddenly it was 11 PM! So we headed home, jumped in our jammies, and re-established our sugar rushes via home-made fudge, which explains my writing to you at 5 AM!
