Your arrangement is magnificent, and the red berries add a lot, as well as the birds and pine cones. Your choir must have enjoyed the festive party. I had the same thought about how to continue with IaVoM during the winter- those lovely evergreens.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-73095056498353791842015-12-29T10:03:38.679-08:002015-12-29T10:03:38.679-08:00Happy New Year!
