Decorating Outside and Finishing Off Santa's Work Shop

Hi folks,

 In the last couple of days I have finally finished Santa's Work Shop just in time for Christmas. I am really happy that I have beaten once again the clock. It took me three months to complete and I really don't know how I did it especially with a new born baby.

Firstly I continued wall paneling the outer wall with lolly pop sticks and then I started tiling the roof with slates. The roof took around 800 slates to cover.

Then I added the scenic snow effect on the roof which had the perfect touch to complete it.

And the last part where the decorations. I have decorated the porch with a Christmas garland that I have made and added some battery lights underneath the porch's roof. In the dark the work shop looks fantastic all lit up. It looks very magical. I  wish I could fit in it.

Well I guess now it is complete. Feeling a little bit sad that it's done but I am already preparing for my next project right after the Christmas celebrations. I will be back with you on Christmas Eve for a little treat so please do keep tuned.

 Take Care and have a nice weekend.

 Hugs.

    I would have commented sooner but we had no internet over much of December, but it has been worth the wait. It looks fantastic, and I am glad that you've shared it with us.
