Never turn down a job because
you think it's too small;
you don't know where it can lead.

I Do Believe in Santa Claus....


Laying on it's front side is the beautiful Santa you saw in the first shot. Still full of glitter and beauty, however....










Just goes to show you, don't pass up anything free; you never know what you'll end up with. lol
So, there you have it folks. My contribution to Metamorphosis Monday. I'm so glad you took the time to stop by today. Don't forget to swing over to Susan's for a full list of those participating. I'll see you there...

Glad you were able to salvage him. He is gorgeous!
Oh Lynne, He is STUNNING. I love that you were able to repair him. What a gorgeous Santa and you have put together the most beautiful vignette too. I am so thrilled for you to have such a fabulous free gift. Hugs, Marty
Hi Dear Lynne! Oh, your Santie is so gorgeous! You're so good too! Most folks would have thrown in the towel and fixed him! I love all of your displays and he is one charming Santie Claus!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
He's gorgeous Lynne! I love his face.
He is a good looking Santa. Started to say Pretty, but that just does not fit does it. You did good.
I'd of said yes too. Beautifully fixed!!
You did a great job. Love gorilla glue, I use it on lots of things.
Good job Lynne! Free is always good. You have such a talent for making things beautiful.
Wonderful!!
He is a handsom Santa indeed!!
good recycling skills Lynne!!
He is so pretty, great you could save him, he will be around for years to come with a great story about how he once was a gonner....
Great job. I just love him.

Definitely worth the repair!
That gorgeous and I do mean gorgeous Santa was meant to be with you. :)
Perfect fix Lynne! He sure is a beauty worth saving. I'm happy you gave him a cozy home nestled amoung the greenery.
Thank you very much for your kind words and understanding this evening. It really means so much to me to read them. You're a sweetheart and I appreciate you.
Blessings to you, ~Melissa :)
Oh Lynne,
You clever woman you! Your patience and persistence paid off! Santa is gorgeous! Hugs, Cindy
Great job Lynne! He's a beauty. I'll have to remember that one. ☺♥☺
Hi Lynne, I've just finished catching up on your last few posts, and your home is stunning. Everything looks magical! I love the way you put vignettes together. What a wonderful treasure you posted today, just goes to show that a little time, and love can bring out the true beauty of things (and people!) "Talk soon!"
Lynne, you and that glue worked a minor miracle. I don't think I'd of had the patience. Good job.
You did a wonderful repair job. I've never used Gorilla Glue before. While I was unpacking some of my Christmas decorations, I had a very old Snowman that I dropped and broke his head off. I was so upset. I had to throw him out. I wish I knew about Gorilla Glue a week ago. I know now for future use.
Thanks for the post!
Hi Lynne,
You did an awesome job! The Santa looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful new week. Until next time.
Blessings,

Oh, Lynne, what a superb rescue. He looks very Santa stately in place.
Oh he is beautiful! As you may remember, I have a Santa collection, but I don't think any of mine are as pretty as this one, and to think that you got him free! You did a wonderful repair job. I think Santa will be good to you this year, since you've put him back together so well! laurie
I use the same glue, Lynne. Its wonderful, isn't it? Thank goodness for small miracles that come in a tube to save our little goodies!
Blessings!
