If you prefer to decorate and paint blue art for your Christmas decor, then you will love the two projects in this little book. Believe is another painting instruction book from Judy Westegaard's "Messages From Santa" collection. Now, if you prefer the more traditional colors of red and green, these projects can easily be adapted to match the hues you love.

The first project is called Believe Bowl. This features a rosy-cheeked Santa and his bag full of toys. Judy's Santas are always so pleasant and cheerful looking, you really want to paint them all. The toys are waiting to be delivered to good little boys and girls. What will they get? Maybe a stuffed panda bear, horse, ball, French horn, or that big paint palette (I want that one!). Santa's hat even ends up inside the bowl for a little added charm.

The second project, which I just love, is called Midnight Messages tray. Again painted with blues and touches of violet, I love how Santa's silhouette is flying across the full-mooned sky. The whisps of smoke from the chimney add a bit of motion to the starry night. The best part is that the tray's feet are balls painted to look like jingle bells!

Yes, I really loved this book. It's going into my painting book library. How about adding it to yours?
