Busy as Bees!

This holiday season we have been super busy with our little brick orders!  When I started making these little guys, they were just snowmen that I painted onto brick pavers.  Then we decided to do pumpkins for Halloween and turkeys for Thanksgiving.  We threw in some Reindeer, Santa's, Penguins and other critters.  At one time Ladybugs were the big hit.  Then I painted a football paver for a friend and I haven't done anything else since.

This Christmas, we rented a spot at our local Tamale Festival to sell our purses and I decided to take a couple of painted football pavers, just to show.  Well we came home with 9 orders that night.  We got those orders out and a few days later got 5 more orders.  We decided that once those were done, we wouldn't do any more until after Christmas......until one of our customers called to ask if we could please do 3 more for a friend of hers and a friend of ours called requesting 5.....all by  Christmas. 

Needless to say, with all the baking and other things I need to do by the holidays, it's been a crazy time here.  My husband, who is my helper, said he would do the bricks so I could get all my other stuff done.  Poor guy.  He's been in that garage for almost a week now, painting away. 

I'm so lucky to have him and so glad to see the final product.  Some are new designs that we've been requested to do and it's always fun to see the variety of teams.  We've moved from football to baseball and now we've been asked to do a basketball player.  Can't wait to see how that one turns out.

Thanks to my hubby for all his help, hard work and love!!
