    This may have been on a budget for you...because you have a bunch of cool stuff!

    I was glad to see the Annalee collection. I have a huge Christmas collection of Annalees, and most people don't know what they are.

    The party looks great!

    Great Party, thanks for sharing. You should do a self sculpture of yourself, as you were disguised! Love your collection, and Hush Sweet Charlotte is one of my favorites!
