SANTA BOTTLES!! Just released!!

Just released as a new pattern packet tonight!! "Santa Bottles" - What fun!! Brand new design from Terrye French and painted by me!! As a pattern, you could use these different Santas on many different surfaces!! A fun project to be sure!! AND I even painted a bottle! haha!! Just recycled one of the small bottles they use for scented reed diffusers, all you need to do now is fill it back up with a refill and you have a cute diffuser for Christmas!! You could do that with all of them if you wanted. Would make great gifts and simple too!! The pattern packet is available on http://www.paintingwithfriends.blogspot.com/ and also on my Etsy.. http://www.etsy.com/shop/skb007?ref=si_shop AND if you are interested in the actual piece shown, I will be listing it tomorrow on Ebay!!
