The Pan . . . Christmas 2012

Well, I can't let a Christmas go by without showing "The Pan" in its most recent finery.  My brother has always been an extremely talented woodworker, but this past year, he purchsed a new CNC router.  Somehow, I knew that "the pan" would be decorated in  splendid wood, and I was right.  He used our family tree and created a billboard of our grandparents back through 20 generations.  And no, before you ask - we don't have documentation for all of them.  There are many in the latest generations that have been attached to our tree by another family member, but as of now, we consider them family.



I am glad I have a year to plot plan what I will transform it in to next, because right now my mind is blank!  It still has the wood office/desk divider glued to the inside.  I think that might be a problem to remove . . . .hmmmmmm.

If you are new to my blog, you can read about the origin of "The Pan" and its reincarnation in subsequent years: 2009, 2010, 2011

    I've been wondering about your pan, Margel, thinking perhaps I missed a post about it. Your brother's work looks wonderful. What a nice thing for him to do "with" the pan! Congrats on your Liebster Award, too.

      Thank you Nancy. I hope our mother is smiling a bit as we have fun with her pan.

    Ah, so good to see The Pan again in its newest incarnation.

    Eleven months and counting, Margel. Tick, tick, tick...

      I'm hoping for a thunderbolt of inspiratio some time in the next ten months.

      But the pressure to outdo each other grows greater each year. . . Ahhh, sibling rivalry.
