Christmas Sleigh


Since we bought our house 6 years ago, every Christmas I talk about wanting a sleigh to put our decorated tree in.  Well our house is just not quite big enough to hold a full size sleigh, bummer. I was cruising through craigslist one night and came across this sleigh for sale and got SO excited.  I emailed the guy right away but it took him 3 days to respond that it was sold. Pet Peeve of mine, delete your listing when it's sold please.


It all worked out for the best though as Brett says to me I can make you a sled.
So with 3 sheets of plywood and some 2x4's the construction began


He designed and built it all by sight, no plan or design in mind


She is looking good, & I am so excited watching her come to life. Once it was built it was my turn to paint & decorate her



I wish the nighttime pictures would have come out clearer

And here is the brother to our other reindeer.


Thanks for stopping by to take a look

Happy Holidays

  1. That turned out so cute guys! You and Brett really rocked it. I can't believe he just winged that. Now we know he can do great DIY stuff. Tell him we have a list ;)

  2. Thanks Shan, I know he really is talented when he wants to be. He took 9 days off and it was so nice doing things. It really is much cuter in person. Taking nigttime pictures just doesn't work too well.

  3. That is adorable. How handy to have that talent. I would use the heck out of that the minute winter hit.
