Also love the fabric boxes! I've had a kit to make fabric boxes for years and just haven't done them...I just might have to get that kit out.<BR/>You ask me about the gingerbread men that were in the jar I gave to my friend. They are purchased ones from a craft supply store...on some of them I painted the white trim and added tiny rusty tin hearts or stars as the buttons on their bodies.<BR/>And about the little snowman I got today at the Christmas open house...the bird, halo, and the branch wings are brown metal. <BR/>Hope you have a great weekend.<BR/>CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-14715808071591263592008-11-13T20:35:00.000-06:002008-11-13T20:35:00.000-06:00Karen, I love the look of your tree in that box!!!...Karen, I love the look of your tree in that box!!!
