I know I've been sprinkling a little bling around. However, that's not the focus in our home at Christmas.
Last year I had Jesus, Mary, and Joseph displayed on a desk.
It was pretty, but I wanted to do something more representative this year. While I was thinking, I glanced over at the pile of pillows in my rustic box,
and knew what I wanted to do.
Out went the pillows. I added straw, and placed one of my "First Noel" fabric pieces as a backdrop. No bling here. Just a peaceful setting.
See you soon.
