Christmas Sock Monkeys
I have been painting little Christmas things I can add to the building paintings, so that clients can make Christmas cards. I just stuck these two little toy soldiers on this to show you how fun it can be. They sorta blend into this building, but it’s just for an example. I’m making wreaths and swags and trees, for example, to jazz up any card. Fun!

You are amazingly creative. But I’m not ready for the holidays yet! Nooooooooooo!
Me neither! Not ready to think about Christmas. Thanks, Carol!
What fun. Humorous and whimsical.
Bet you had to use knee socks for those soldiers. They are just delightful, Beth
He he he Thanks so much, Jill!
What a great idea! I love the sock monkey toy soldiers! Maybe nutcrackers? Very cool.
Yeah!! That’s it! I knew they had another name besides toy soldier. That was bugging me. Thanks, Cindy!:D
