Twinkle Time!
This baking Santa and tiny tree sit on the bar between the kitchen and living room! I couldn't figure out how to hide the base of the tree (it's really tacky) so I stood it in the red gingerbread men pie plate and piled on the Starlight Mints (I saw a similar idea on someone else's blog but sadly I don't remember who it was - I'm sorry!).
edit: Actually, on the blog I can't remember, had a standing in a bowl of Starlight mints but I liked the idea to hide the tree base.
The tree is sparsely decorated because I ordered some tiny gingerbread type cookie ornaments and I think they are too small. This will have to do. The only thing that matters - he makes us SMILE :-)
Happy Holidays and thanks for visiting with me!
In Friendship!

Love the mints idea! Enjoy your blog... although I'm guilty of not leaving comments every time I visit. Enjoy the season!
What a clever idea the mints is. He looks lovely perched there Darlene.
Darlene, that is too adorable! What a great idea to hide the base - what'll you do when the mints are all gone? LOL.
Great Santa and tree. I will borrow your idea (or whoever's idea) with the mints :-)!! Great
picture.
Oh I know just what the base of that tree looks like *S* Guess I'm off to the store for some Starlight mints - a great solution *s*
How adorable he is!! Love the mints at the base of that cute tree! He makes me smile, too!
He made me smile, too! What a great idea on the tree base!
Great idea with the mints.
Where did you order the small gingerbread ornaments? I have a feather tree that is desparately in need of some small ornaments.
I think that's a cool idea with the mints there in the red dish!! Love your tree and the adorable santa.
Oh, what a cute Santa! Is he inspiring you to start baking?
I have mints in a container holding a candle, but I don't remember if I posted a photo or not. Great idea to use them to hide the base of the tree! Another thing I did was to get one of those decorated gift boxes and stick a small tree in one of those with a small quilt hanging over the edge. Yep, I got it ALL going on over here! ROFLOL! Of course, I think I stole THAT idea from someone else. That's what blogging's about--it's a great way to find and share ideas! Oh, and I just LOVE your Santa--he's really wonderful!
What a great idea to hide that tree base. Your decorating is looking great!
Don't we find the most wonderful ideas in blogland.
I pick up many from you.
It looks like the Holiday Season there in your home.
The mints in the bowl hiding the base looks fantastic. A good way to have mints handy for those little urges.
Oh he is so adorable! I love it!
He is adorable. I can see why he makes you smile.
What a fun little Santa!
