This is my last week as guest designer at Lasting Memories and I had so much fun playing along with their theme challenges. This week's challenge is My favorite things - scrap a photo of your favorite holiday item(s) or your holiday collections (favorite tree ornaments, Nutcracker collection, etc.) Every year I decorate my entry hall and up the steps and love the way it looks at night-so that is what I featured in my layout. The challenge runs for 2 weeks, because if Christmas, so I hope that gives you time to play along!
