SARAH’S COMMENTS

I made this picture in my parents’ home the last Christmas I spent in Oklahoma with them, before they moved to Wyoming.  It’s my favorite Christmas time picture that I have ever made.  Every time I look at it, I remember that cozy feeling of being with my Mom and Dad during the holidays.

Once again, congratulations Sarah!
