As I put away the remnants and reminders of crafty things from this Christmas past, I can’t help reminiscing about a bunch of mini holiday creations with a whole bunch of kitty cats, a few dogs, and some random animal critters like little piggies and penguins.
These motley animal figures weren’t Christmas-oriented. No sirree! But I was doing mini craft gifts that required tons of imagination and a slew of Santas, a range of bottle brush Christmas trees in hues ranging from customary green plus red, pink and yellow. Oh, metallic gold trees, too!
Most of the “characters” were mail-ordered via Temu and a few had precise atmospheric traits or were clad in obvious costumes, as bakers, ukulele strummer, librarians, sushi-makers, pianists and even a cat chatting on an iPhone and another at an Apple laptop. Honest!
So sheer imagination and will power were key to creating the vibes of a specific Christmas which became the was the season of funky gifts with an operative word and a theme and sense of whimsy.
I didn’t photograph every one of the scenes but did snap a few, shared here as I say goodbye to Christmas 2025. If you received one, lemme know your reactions.
Love the creations and they are keepsakes.
I have worn the Christmas pin you gave TAG and it has brought smiles to peoples faces from kiddies to adults
Wayne, you add a fun touch to whimsy with your Christmas creations. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment. It’s fun to do fun…that’s the premise of creation.
