~~Mosaic/Macro Monday~~


I love Santa, that glorious symbol of good, love, compassion, giving and sharing.  I don't have large collection and at my age one needs no more, but the ones I have I cherish as they are reminders of the time when all were here to share in the glories of this Holy Season.


One Santa is my favorite.  More like a china doll
he has wonderful features and seems so lifelike.

Thanks be to God!

Now visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.


Again this Wednesday please
join me in offering Once Upon a Time 
Recipes, a story and recipe you
have as tradition at your house.  This will
be the last before Christmas.  Please share
your treasure with us.

  17. You have a great collection and I really enjoyed this mosaic. And I think your favorite Santa would be mine too!

    I actually have a big Santa collection too, but I haven't put them out for years (I started a vintage 'Baby Jesus' collection and now I usually only put that out). Some of the Santa collection are made of pecan shells and they were painted by my Mom. I should at least pull those out of the attic and leave them up all year.

    Thanks for sharing a little of your Christmas celebration tradition with us!
    Love and Prayers,
    Eileen

  31. I am also a big fan of Santa Claus, Cathy, and I have an assortment of many Santa ornaments for my tree. Your mosaic is so lovely!

    I am glad you enjoyed seeing Colorado's capital. It's a beautiful building and Denver is a wonderful city. I already miss my grandson so much!
