Iiiii’m dreamiiiing of a whiiiiiite Christmaaaaas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I had my very first white Christmas last year and I do hope we’ll get another one this year, we loved it!!

In the meantime, Kay’s sample below is definitely a white xmas as she used the cute Herb snowman from Whiff of Joy. Dawn seems to be having a (black &) white Christmas and Ria is probably too cold to face the snow as she prefers staying indoors to decorate the tree

Here’s our samples for today.

Hope you are enjoying this week… let us know in a comment below…
