Years ago Glenda Campbell and I got together to paint Christmas Ornaments. Glenda's were all one-of-a-kind paintings. This cute little animal looking out of a Christmas Stocking adorns our tree each year.
While in Germany I received many Christmas Ornaments for my Birthday. Having your birthday in December invites creative ornament gifts each year. This red wooden heart was painted Danish Style by Vera Führer. Vera lived in Schleswig, Germany which was 5 kilometers from our home. We had many a great cup of coffee together.
Janet Childress, a member at Arts Prescott Gallery, created this Horse Ornament for as one of MANY donations for H.O.R.S.E.S with Heart. She filled a stander with these horse ornaments and donated all of the money from the sell of them. That was the gallery raffle for 2006. It was a total sucess because the organization got behind the fund raising and helped it be one of the best raffles during the holidays for the gallery. Janet worked hard putting the raffle together because the organization is close to her heart.
Paula Euell, High Desert Bead Society Member creates these Christmas Angels and each one is dressed elegantly. We did the Veteran's Christmas Bazaar one year and she was selling these ornaments along with her beaded jewelry.
Driving up Thumbutt I found an art show in a private home. This Stained Glass Santa just had to go home with me.
Each year I purchase one special ornament and the Santa found its way to my home in 2007. I lost the card of the Santa's maker, so if anyone knows the name of the artist please make a comment and leave it for everyone.
I hope you all are having the Happy Holidays we are.
