Updated NutCracker

I found these three things for a dollar each at my local thrift store.....I had a vision!

I covered the little Christmas book with the top from an old Shiny Brite ornament box, using a clear matte contact paper. The tray was painted and covered with a red dotted fabric....the most fun was painting and embellishing my little nutcracker.

I have picked up three more nutcrackers...along with special embellishments for my next playtime with Nutcrackers.

This one is new!

My hobby became my job...so, I have another hobby that has been a part of me since I was brand new! My Grandma Blanche introduced us to the flea market and tag sale world when we were small. My mother was always painting and fixing things up. We are a family of artists and there was never a second thought about using things as canvases for our art work.
