Had to post my favorite Christmas gift.\u00a0 Brandon saw this and debated whether to buy it or not for me.\u00a0 I am so glad he did because I LOVE IT!!!\u00a0 He bought me a Gallery of Light\u00a0 – Hitch Hiking Ghosts – by Robert Olszewski.<\/p>\n

It is a shadow box and it is very detailed.\u00a0 The frame is about 5 inches square and on the frame one of the leaves is the switch to turn on the LED blue lights.\u00a0 The hitch hikers are very detailed and really makes me feel like I am at Disney in the Haunted Mansion.\u00a0 Love It!!<\/p>\n

We had a terrific Christmas.\u00a0 Santa was very good to us all.\u00a0 Our son made out like a bandit and has plenty to keep him busy with an XBox and games, LEGO sets, board games, models, books and assorted other toys.\u00a0 Brandon got a carving tool he was looking at and some other needed and wanted things.<\/p>\n

I didn’t really paint anything for everyone this year.\u00a0 I normally make tags or something and just didn’t feel like it.\u00a0 I did paint clocks for our Moms.\u00a0 They both bought clocks in the fall and asked me to paint them.\u00a0 I didn’t really do them for Christmas but it was just when I got them to them.<\/p>\n

My Mom’s is painted with Hydrangeas…<\/p>\n

For Brandon’s Mom, she wanted houses on hers.\u00a0 Her clock was very small so that made that a bit challenging…<\/p>\n

That was my own exercise in miniatures!\u00a0 The clock was only about 6 – 8 inches wide so the house scene was quite small.<\/p>\n

The next couple of days are going to be all about relaxing and playing with our son and his new stuff!\u00a0 Not so relaxing but fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
