Hi miKKo! What a wonderland you have created. Did you get your girl jump roping from Creative Breathing or Georgia Peach or one of those craft ladies?
If you need a match for your snowball let me know, I've got a zillion.
I know, Vintage Crystal!
I love that second photo..it's beautiful with such a warm feeling!...:-)
Hi, AmberRose! Thank you very much! I haven't been this spoiled since childhood! You are so good!!!
Girl on Snowball is by Cody Foster / Backporch Friends -- can't remember where I purchased her. Isn't she fun? She deserves a better photographer! (I posted less awful photos of her and 'Father Winter' in another show and tell today.)
Thank you very much for your very kind appreciation! I enjoyed sharing these with you! Do stay warm - it's nippy outside today. : )
Thank you very much, inky, for your most kind comment!!! I enjoyed the scene myself, but I had to laugh when I blew out the candles - I had an asthma attack. Mantle looks like the altar at High Mass, and smelled like it too after I blew out the candles. : ) I posted Father Winter and Girl on Snowball in another entry tonight so that you could see them! : )
Thank you very much, mustangtony!!! Hope you and the dogs and cat are well and joyous! Good to see you, sir. : )
