Christmas Layout Part I

I have been very slow off the dime working on the blog. Lately I have been trying to finish up  a winter layout to sit on top of the fireplace for Christmas. I am done with it finally (with two days to go before our annual holiday open house. Now I can write up a special Christmas edition of what I did. I will add a single picture here to whet appetites for the gory details later. Between now and the party there is no time to spend writing--I still have all the outdoor lights to hang, the house to decorate and clean, the food to cook, etc. Enough for now.
