“Welcome 2012”

Gingerbread boys hanging out in the snow

These little gingerbread boys think the snow is great! They are visiting my daughter in Utah. After the snow melts we will bring them indoors and place them all snuggled and warm back in their cozy little box. Next holiday season we will bring them out again.

Since we live in Texas, we get very little snow. However, we have had two very good rains lately. After the extremely dry year we had in 2011 it was very much appreciated.

I can’t believe January of 2012 is half over and I am still posting Christmas ornaments. Do you think I am a little behind?

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, you’re always welcome back!

Gingerbread Man Paper Towel Holder

Everyone loves a gingerbread man. I love to use the gingerbread man design in my crafts. This one was made into a paper towel holder. It also has a small removable gingerbread man on top of the dowel which holds the towels.

Crafts were really going strong in my neck of the woods (Texas) in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. I opened my craft and gift shop in 1997 and did well until late 2001. That was when the craft business bit the dust. I hope someday the customers will return (make it soon, please).

Please send me a comment and share your thoughts on when you think crafts will be thriving again. I really, really, really would like to hear from you and hear your predictions on the future of the craft business.

Until next time, thanks for visiting!
