What a Year

Hello everyone. I have had a hectic year.  I went to a buying show in April. Holidays in June. My daughters wedding in July, and started getting ready for Christmas set up in August and September. I am now getting my Christmas decorating started. Oh and I also built Snow white and the seven dwarfs out of plywood, they are three feet tall and are now lawn ornaments. I also built a 7 1/2 foot tall Handy Hound for Home Hardware. ( the store I work at).
