Not Child's Play!

Well this one certainly hasn't turned out to be "easy-to-make", and I certainly wouldn't classify it as a "holiday activity for the whole family" as stated in the blurb on the back cover of, "Cut & Assemble Santa's Workshop". Nor would I suggest that it "would make a charming keepsake decoration", since a paper model would be difficult to store safely from one year to the next.

But despite the very misleading information in the blurb, I do think this publication, and the resulting 3D paper model of Santa's Workshop, would make a fun holiday activity for a very patient adult or teen that has a lot of time on their hands, good eyesight, and a steady hand, and also happens to love paper craft models. 

I just don't happen to be that person.

This is the first of three Christmas themed books I have received at no charge from Dover Publications Inc. in exchange for my honest review. The link I provided here is solely for my readers convenience as, beyond the free book, I get no further compensation.

Introducing "Legolas"

Legolas has arrived. You can call him "Leggy" if you wish. 

Just don't let him catch you referring to him as "half a man" or anything equally as rude.

He is an excellent kick boxer, so consider yourself warned.

Legolas was rather bored just sitting around, doing nothing, at Redrosette's place, 

So she sent him along to me knowing I could make good use of him as size model for knitting and sewing.

He'll be quite busy now that he has a job to do, so you might not see much of him.

But then again, you never know?

Maybe he'll drop by once in awhile for a bit of a cameo appearance.

He tells me he's also considering a second job as a shoe model.
