Take A Word - Celebration

Celebration of Christmas is a conglomeration of images for me.....trips home and the wonderful smells of mother's kitchen, children singing in our little country church,  adults joining in the traditional Christmas hymns, sleigh bells,  anticipation of a visit from Santa,  the happy chaos of the gift exchange, and heads bowed in prayerful gratitude as the family is seated around the Christmas table.   Merry Christmas all!

  7. Bev, in my 'umble opinion this is the best collage you have ever done. The design is stunning. You have taken all the highlights of the holiday system and included them in a touching and unique way. My hat is off to you and a standing ovation is on its way.

  17. Beautiful collage! I've never been on a sleigh ride despite all of the snow we get here in Michigan. I have been on a hay ride, though, which makes me think of the same homey feeling your collage portrays.
