It's beginning to look a lot like-

C H R I S T M A S !!

Nativity Collections:

Each year I buy a new nativity set. Some years, if we travel, I always look for one from the country we are in (sounds like we go all over the world, but not too much since I got married) :)

This one is from Mexico

(1992, BYU Study Abroad)

This is one (above) we made (or painted and shined) at church a few years ago...

This tiny one in the bottle is from a small town in Chile

 New this year (above): an 'all-in-one' that I just love!

And my most favorite Christmas "craft" is this house that I made (with help and idea from art teacher, Gwen; we made Halloween houses together)

This is one of my favorites:

you can't tell much here, but the small dolls and animals

have words on them,

scriptures bits

or Christian tidbits...

I just love the intricate designs on these.

Don't know where it originates from...

Merry Christmas!! From the Texas Buckwalters!!
