Santa Claus collection; Ruby Tuesday #1

I've seriously started collecting Santa Claus figures/items when our son Leon joined the family, to remind us of how great the Lord is in giving gifts we deserve.

Santa in a sleigh, got this in 2007.
Battery operated, sings and moves around

2 Santas hanging on a rope, 2008 (paper mache')
another paper mache' Santa on a parachute, 2009
Christmas stockings with Santa Bear, 2010

wondering why the 2 paper mache' Santas are in the house? It's quite impractical to put them outdoors because of the unpredictable weather patterns here in the Philippines. It's rains every once in a while in December! It's been like this for 2 years now lol!

but I've had a few collections from way before....

A Santa wall decor, hanging on our kitchen partition

A Santa Claus pillow which you can find in our room

A Santa Claus figurine, I got as a gift way back in the 90's
and a Santa Claus candle holder which I received in 2006

Santa Claus placemat, I bought intentionally for the holiday season during the 90's
and candy dish, another gift from a colleague in 2003

my first post on Ruby Tuesday for 2011, here's more...

kraft world

Part of organizing my site is creating kraft world.

Kraft world is where I will share with you my handicrafts, the things I personally do. It'll be here where I will share as well as develop my learning about various crafts.

Handicrafts is one of the things I might do (together with blogging of course!) in case I become a full time work at home wife and mom.

To begin with I love shabby chic and I'm into recycling.
