Painting up some Snowmen...

I've been busy painting up
some Snowmen to fill the
places where I sell my items

This is an old Black Powder 
canister...Quite large at 24" tall
Thought I would paint a 
Snowman on it.

Snowman on Shovels....


Snowman License Plate

Snowman Bingo cards...
This idea is from Mary
of Square Nails Crafts
(with permission)
this is my version....

Snowman on Barn Board with
Burlap Pocket....
These were popular last year

This one was a custom order
The lady wanted the Snowman
to hold a wine glass
and personalized

Old Records

Old Hinges

Old Gas Cans

Pretty much if it doesn't move
it gets painted.
Thanks for stopping by!

*****************************
I've been having trouble with my 
internet. Not being able to stay on very
long, getting booted off, not being able
to down load pictures. Grrr!
Getting the run around from our
Internet Provider....
Been told it's because of the weather.
I have a question for those of you
that have IPads....
I can not respond to e-mails from my
Ipad, and I can not do Blog Posts.
Is this just me???
Or is this for everyone on their Ipad.
And my phone is too out dated to
do anything from there. My kids
keep taking my upgrades, Lol!
So I resort to my Desk top to answer
e-mails and do Blog Posts, when my
Internet decides to work.
