Rainbow Lady - Christmas Carols

For Rainbow Lady's challenge this week (Christmas carols) I have made this card with a photo of my hand-painted crèche. My sister did the woodworking and I did the painting.

This is "Away in a Manger."






My second card is also a photo of a crèche. This one is also hand made but came from Germany in the 1970s. It was the first one the artist, a young teenager, had ever made. I wish I knew her name. If anyone recognizes the work, please let me know. The little metal horse is an antique and not part of the original set.

This is "O Holy Night".

    Oh this is truly beautiful, Faye! It was so good to hear from you...I hope that you are having a truly blessed holiday season. Ralph is getting better day by day...but, it looks as though it may take a few months for a full recovery and use of his arm...Thank you so much for your prayers...they mean a great deal to me.

    I am so glad that you enjoyed the seminar. I actually added something to it (at the bottom) if people want to frame them for their studios. It's a specially made picture that is inspirational

    I took the music off of my blog so now I hope you can get on without having any problems....I know that my browser gives me fits sometimes too...so, I just went in and took the music off so that it will download easily for you.

    Sending (((hugs))) your way,
    Cindy
