let the festivities begin!

I LOVE Christmas….the season is 2 months long for me (I’m a Ukrainian prairie girl!!)….I dig out the decorations on Nov 15th….I’m almost as bad as the shopping malls…and they stay up til Jan 15th!  My favorite art/craft projects of the season are cookie decorating!  My sister Laurie got me going on elaborate cookie detailing about…… 7 years ago?? My goodness how time zips by!

  This Spring I had to go to Saskatchewan for about a month…and 2 weeks were spent at my cousin Debbie’s gracious offer of her cabin.  One of the most charming things about their decor was the John Deere theme.  Why had I not thought of that before for my Gingerbread herd!  So these are dedicated to Debbie and Rod….and my Dad too…who was a Die Hard John Deere man.
