Life of a Maple

Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! I have so many-- too many things to write about... the new Sylvanians and accessories I got for the holidays, how I received Nina's parcel she sent to me on the 23rd with plenty of lovely things inside, and how great the Maple Cat's house looks like when decorated for Christmas. I've decided to spread things out. I'll show all of my presents on the forum! I'll write Nina an email about her parcel and take/share pictures of that, too! I'll do a separate post for the Maple cat's house during the holidays! I wanted to write about something other than the Maple Cat's this time, though, so I chose the Periwinkles, who have been long awaiting the arrival of their new baby, and it just might arrive on Christmas day! It was Christmas evening at the Periwinkle house. Kate and Robert were standing on the balcony, admiring their lovely yard, snowy and white. "Merry Christmas, darling," said Robert tenderly....

Hello again, fellow collectors/photographers/bloggers! Since the move is getting back to normal and we have now partially settled in, let the posts begin! But first, I would like to say a few things: I've been pretty late on the Creative Crafting challenges, missing two in a row. The first one I missed was the Gratitude challenge, due to the business of preparations for the move and packing and unpacking my things. The second one I missed--the Christmas Lists one--because I posted a different topic on my blog instead: renovations in the Maple Cat's house. So... here's something to get us into the Christmas spirit and focus a bit first on the renovations. Here goes!! Oh yes, and one last thing before we start: Thank you, everyone, for your support about my blog, your lovely comments and the encouraging things you say! With this blog and this community, not only do I have an audience but also friends--from all over the world. So thank you. You, my parents, my sister...
