We are having adverse weather here today in the U.K and this morning we woke to 6" of snow..yippee went the kids and living in a rural area school taxis are the way to school so a day off  for everyone...I gave Allan my oldest son the task of the draw..instead of writing all the names out however many times they entered he sat for quite a long while loading them into an automated name draw on the internet and when that was done there must have been around 250 entries I just had to click the *choose a name button*so so easy LOL..Anyway back to the winners *1st prize of Beeswax Santa ornies and Flying Reindeer is BRENDA from PINE TREE PRIMS*..congrats..*2nd prize of Beeswax Snowman is MICHELE from SOMETHING SPECIAL*..congrats and if you girls could send along you addy I will pop them in the post..
                                           
*WHAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON TODAY*
A snow day at home is great and I alway treat it like a holiday and what better way to spend the day than makin' up some prims..I thought I would share some pics..I have seen the most fab Santas kicking around lately by the most talented artists and just love their sculpted faces..I have used modeling clay before but thought I would have a go..well he turned out just great and will be off to his new home soon..
Last night my bedtime reading was yet another flick back through the Merchantile Mag ( I read them over and over LOL) and spotted this fab snowman..now I am no woodworker but took the plunge with hubbies power tools and did O.K..I was after something a little different for my front door this year and this guy is just perfect..I am going to pop some fresh greens around him and I am sure to have the best dressed door in the village..
I hope all my dear friends over the pond are having the most wonderful day spending precious time with friends and family and celebrating on this THANKGIVING DAY..*~*Blessings to all*~* ♥

WAX ANTICS

SO CHUFFED WITH THE OUTCOME..♥

I have long admired the girls who make the gorgeous scented wax ornies and always buy mine from various different artists in the States..
I love to try different crafts and as I am having a stand at a local Christmas fayre and I needed some other items to sell..things with a different angle from my fabric crafts..I sent off for a Belsnickel Santa mold and bought myself some beeswax..everything arrived and I couldn't wait to get started..I was a little baffled as the mold was a 2 piece and of course this was a 3D Santa...Anyway I started last night and poured my 2 halves..I could barely wait this morning and in my PJ's whilst the boys were eating breakfast I poured my secound halves and put the previous 2 on top...Having left them to harden I got on with my normal chores..I was so excited when I popped them out..AMAZING ♥..I needed to tidy up the seam but they were fab..I grubbied them up with some spices and as I had already added my scented oil to the wax..OH they smell wonderful.."Pumpkin crunch cake"YUM YUM..
I just need to make more now ♥
Well I am so pleased how they turned out and if I was a customer at the Fayre I sure would buy a Santa LOL..
Hope everyone is having a good week *~*Blessings*~*..♥
