A bit of Christmas spirit in Dreamland today. I made a small wall hanging project with The Vintage Christmas sets from Character Construction. I wanted to make a scene with trees and then I started thinking about a snowy morning....and then, that children would want to get out and play with the new sled. And, that is how this project evolved.
