Girls just left..I'm on the tired side...thank goodness 3 didn't make it tonight...gave me a little more time...

Jeannine..just love the stress management info..will have to print it and post it in the office..

O.K. everyone..who ever would like to do a 'victorian sleigh' project...no painting experience necessary, just wanting to have fun, please let me know by let's say Sunday..Monday I'll mail out the santa's...

I used MDF from Home Depot..they have pieces of 1/2" which will they will cut to specification..probably the sleigh top 12"w x 18"h...would cost about $4.00 including the cuts...I have scroll saw/band band saw but jig saw could cut the piece that you purchase so that top and bottom have a bit of design....the runners are done with strapping..$1.29 for 8'..so very inexpensive...guess the actual wood for sleigh will run you about $5.00

If any of you can't get the sleigh made I could send you one...this would be open to absolutely EVERYONE...just a fun thing to do...

Will start a thread in which I'll show the making of the sleigh..easy as 1-2-3..went into the back shed and found one to give you an idea of what we'll be doing...as well, have loads of material so I'll send you a santa to cut out in detail..only thing is there are no more blue's but there are 4 to choose from..different designs and color...let me know which one you prefer...
