Just wanted to wish all of you a very happy&peaceful Thanksgiving Day!The economy has us all very stressed right now,but we still have so very,very much to be thankful for in this country.Let's count our blessings today,and every day!

~*An Ice~Skating Snowgirl*~

I have a new dollie up for auction on eBay.She is an Ice~Skating Snowgirl.She wears a dress made from a wonderful print of ice~skating scenes from the 1800's.I gave her ear~muffs,a hand~warmer,and some sweet little ice~skates.She is so beautifully sparkley in person,you just can't capture it in photos!








Also,I am very excited about my new background,I love it!My sweet,cabinet~making Hubs made it for me.It is a black,distressed,raised panel with crown moulding.I think it looks very nice!

~*White Belsnickle Santa*~

Now that the TDIPT Mercantile has updated,I can show you my latest Santa.He is a Belsnickle type Santa.I had alot of fun making him,so I am working on several more in different colors!

My Hubs is Making a Dollie :).....

I am so very proud of my Hubs!A couple of weeks ago,when I was making the Hitty&Izannah Walker style set,he saw the original Hitty for the first time,and was intrigued by her,since he has been a cabinet~maker,and furniture~maker,for most of his life.Like me,he also has a love for old and worn Folk Art&antiques.So,much to my amazement,he set out to make a Hitty!He has never even hand~carved anything before,let alone,a dollie!But I must say,I am extremely impressed with his very first,hand~carved Hitty!No kits were used,she's just entirely hand~carved from scratch,by him.To me,it gives her a very wonderful,authentic,Folk Art appeal.I'm going to document his progress along the way!






~I'll leave you with a picture of the original Hitty~

~*Sassy Snowgirl&Her Pug*~

I finally finished my other dollie,for the TDIPT "Winter Wonderland"group launch.She will be listed on eBay tonight at 8pm.I am smitten with her little pug doggie!









Once again,be sure to search TDIPT on eBay,to see all of the wonderful auctions!

~*A Joyful St. Nick*~
