update...3/25/2018...

finally finished!...i'll let the pictures tell the story...except for a few details...

the trees were from Walmart...i added balls cut from strings of dollar store party beads...

the stained glass window graphics were some i found online...

they're kinda hard to see...but there are vintage glass bells in the towers...(thanks to one of my longtime forum friends!)

my usual glitter and mica flakes final finish...

i think my little reproduction style candy santa looks right at home...

my very best regards...

Howard...

This turned out great Howard. Again - such a happy finish and Santa does add quite the sparkle. He does exude a welcome personality.

Everything about it is wonderful - the building itself, the colors, the delightful little fellow out front. Wonderful. It makes me smile.
