I did not think I would, but I did finish it just in time for Christmas. I am so happy the way it came out. It looks magical in real life! If you like what you see here, you would love it in person!

I would like to thank you all for your support and to wish you all Merry Christmas....

or Happy Holidays!-whatever this holiday means to you my wish for you is that it is very happy!
