The Gifts

Now we have arrived at Christmas day and the gifts! We all opened them, then had a big Zoom meeting! I was trying to photograph the gifts, but the new giant gnome had taken them and would not let them go!



After reminding him that he wouldn't have a home without us, he relented and let go of some. 




This birch tree fabric bag matches the birch ornament with my initial and sparkles.



This photo collage is on a really think piece of bamboo, maybe 2" thick. So you can either stand it up or hang it. It is heavy!

Looks like you got some nice gifts! Love the ornament! I'm becoming partial to anything with a cardinal on it which is dangerous because I don't need to collect anything else!

Absolutely delightful Ginny.
Love your gifts and am glad the gnome finally let you have them.
That ornament is beautiful as are the collage and twirling Granddaughter.
Lovely post.

Lovely photo collage! My guess is the gnome only let you have the gifts if you took photos of him, to prove he's counted as a member of the family now...

Mari said...

Fun times! I love that birch picture and the gnome just makes me smile.
