Vintage Central Park Freebie - Part 2

Before I go any further with this post, here’s a disclaimer – I LOVE CALIFORNIA and I’m glad I live here. I actually chose to live here, however…

There’s just a lot missing here when it comes to holidays, especially Christmas. I grew up in the South and on the East Coast where there seems to be more Christmas beauty than there is in California. Maybe it’s the weather, but I think there’s more to it.

I love the big cities at Christmas. There’s something so special about Chicago, Philadelphia and New York at Christmas. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend Christmas in each of those cities and it makes the holiday even more special. The street decorations, taxis with Christmas wreaths (they’ll still run over you, but at least they look festive while doing so), the store windows and the energy of it all make Christmas a wonderful time of the year. And if there’s snow, it’s even better.

We are spending the holidays in New York City this year with our youngest daughter and her family. That’s how the Vintage Central Park kit came about. I was thinking about our trip and how much I love NYC at Christmas and how beautiful the park is in the winter with the snow and the lights from the buildings.

Sometimes when I work on things, they just come together like magic. That happened with this kit. I’m so glad you like it and thank you so very, very much for your wonderful comments and encouragement to make more kits. I’ll keep posting more parts of it for the next few days for you.

I know what you mean about Christmas. I grew up in Chicago and one of my biggest treats was when my grandma took me downtown to see all the store windows. I still remember my amazement. Maybe that was part of what drew me to this kit. No matter, I love it and thank you for sharing your time and talent with us.

Thank you for this kit. It is beautiful and aptly inspired. I grew up in California and now live in a snowy Canada so our lives have a reversed perspective. Thank you for your creative process and sharing it with us.
