Don't try this.  I had a set of hokey Santa mugs that were in need of cleaning for Christmas morning and I placed them in the dishwasher...boohoo, winter white Santa? Don't try this either....I thought my roping was looking a little dark so I used spray snow to create a flocked look.  It was going on kind of clear so I kept spraying and spraying.  20 minutes later I walked by and it looked like Walmart!!!   Oooops! I never used spray snow before, don't think I will again.  Also I'd like to share a holiday tradition in my family that I know some of you already have adopted.  Each year I email the family members young and old with a Christmas question.  They send their response back to me and I print them out without their names attached.  It's always fun to try and figure out who said what.  We started with "what was your most memorable Christmas?", we even had "Santa is tired of wearing red, design his outfit "This year the question is "the wise men brought precious gifts...what would you bring?" We howl at some of the responses. Someday you will post a blog response instead of emailing me to let us ALL know what traditions you love. Post your tradition HERE. To recap , your pre Christmas gifts from me on sale are: Window panel orders HERE Cowhide rugs HERE Stone planters HERE All Jewelry HERE Hand blown silver vases ALL 20% OFF Limited time....
