    To wrap up the year, I built a scale model town after a fresh snow. It was inspired by a painting by Norman Rockwell. Merry Christmas, everyone! Thanks for a great year of crafting.
    My friend @9-Times kindly bought me @JerryRigEverything's knife for Christmas. It's great!

    Most of my scale model foliage is from Diorama Presepe. You can visit their online store for more craft ideas here: www.dioramapre...

I've watched every single one of your videos now. And we'll go back and watch him a second time. Don't let people in their bad comments get to you. I have to admit your Wild West models are my favorite. And knowing that I'm a strangers may come across strange. But if you decide to do one with a prospector. I'll be willing to send you a small packet of actual real gold to put into your model. Let me know what you prefer. Keep up the good work and thank you.

I imagine one of her kids has it stashed somewhere or had it placed at a garage sale. I would love to make my own someday.

    I've saved this video to my Favorites file.
    I'm of an age (nearing 70) where I'm downsizing, which includes buying my first artificial tree; it's all of 2ft tall and occupies the top of my treadle sewing machine in my studio apartment window. The wire tree comes pre-lit and I've festooned it with 1in diameter glass ornaments, 2.4in glass icicles, a hand-strung popcorn garland, and a yellow cardstock 5-pointed star at its top.
    Your video pointed out to me how easy it would be to make a little Christmas Village to circle the base of the tree. I have a background that includes cabinetmaking, electronics, and architectural modelmaking, so doing this should not be difficult for me. Who knows; maybe it will open a whole new side business for myself...
