Flashback Friday: Who's Scared of Santa

1975 in Bangkok, my Thai daughter had never seen Santa. While all our friends were waiting to see her reaction, they didn't expect her horror at his appearance.  Obviously, in her whole life in a hospital crib, there was nothing similar to this vision. She wanted nothing to do with him! and there was not changing that on her 'first' Christmas.

Santa Came Early

Well, he actually arrived at the end of November and I considered this my first Christmas present. Thank you thank you thank you dear Cathy!! I bet you thought I'd never blog about this, did ya?




The collage of Patsy was a gift I won from dear Cathy of Big Cat's Emporium and more recently TinnieGirl. Patsy needed an adjective to describe her, and my choice of Pensive won out. Yeah me! Patsy flew all the way from Victoria Australia to land on my dining room table.



In January my wall of art will finally be installed (dh doesn't know about this yet...and Patsy will have a place of honor) Again, thank you so much Cathy and I hope 2009 will bring you much success with your adventures in tin land. Check out TinnieGirl at Etsy to actually purchase some lovely things. You go girlfriend!
