Bob's been busy!



Most of you know that Bob enjoys carving figurines.   This year he has been busy carving things for a craft show our church is having.  The other night he got some of his things out to price them, so I snapped this picture.  He's got quite a few old fashioned Santa ornaments and figurines, some snowmen and some of caricature figurines.  Our daughter Laura, who is a floral designer will be there with some Christmas arangements and swag, and for those of you that know my sister Cheri - she'll be there too.  She has some great food gifts, which I'm planning to buy a few of.
If you live near Allendale, stop by Lighthouse Community Church on Saturday and get a little Christmas shopping done!

  4. Wow Mari, Bob is very talented! So much detail. I don't know anything about carving, other than the fact that I love it, but he really seems to have a knack with it! I hope the craft show is a big success.

    Hugs!

  22. Mari,
    If I lived closer I would love to come to your church craft sale! Bob's wooden Santa’s look amazing, and I would enjoy seeing your daughter's floral designs.
    I heard your side of the state got heavy snow. Did you get any or was it higher up? It was freezing today, but we just got a dusting. Next Thursday we might get dumped on if it comes down from Canada. My husband is itching to try out his new “toy” snow blower.
