German factory closing it's doors.  

I was so sad to find out yesterday that a German factory that has been manufacturing paper mache boots, balls and eggs,  has closed it's doors.  It was always special to have a pair of paper mache boots on a Santa and to say, the "boots were made in Germany".  

I have been thinking all day about how to replace, the irreplaceable.  What do I craft to make it still feel special ?  I have been working on ideas all day.  A few look promising, but not like the German boots.

Working Fast & Furious

             Working Fast & Furious

I have been working on Santa's and Snowmen so fast and furiously.  I had been sick and now I have to catch up.  I found a branding black & white that I am going to use.  I just love it so much.  I liked it so much that I added a new board to pinterest, Black & White

It is filled with so many silhouettes that I had a hard time deciding on what to use.  

Here are a few of my favorites. I then had to decide on something totally different because this only represented Christmas.  What about the other Holidays I love?  

             

Old German Santa

Jolly Santa I grew up with.  

An older Santa that I love, love, love.



I had one more favorite and I picked it.  Here it is.  My new Branding, Black & White.  

Soon, it will be on all my sites.  When you see it, I will be close by.  

I felt that it has a "Holiday Festive  Spirit" about it but, you would never guess what Holiday.  That is why, I thought it was perfect.  It can represent all the Holidays that I create for !! 

Please keep watch for more news from me as I go about creating Santa's that look old, even though they are new.  

I will have a lot of candy container Santa's and Elves, and children.  What good is Christmas without children. Santa needs a child   next to him.  Don't you agree.  

Check out my Facebook page.  That is where I sell from, before ebay.  I even give sneak peeks on that page also.  Email me with any questions.
