Merry Christmas to all

Advent Baubles, 2012 © Frances Tyrrell
Five years of Advent baubles!  I started posting these in 2012, for fun and to celebrate the season with friends.  The first year was a miscellany, a bit of something from my book illustrations and card art, and also one of my ornament designs - a stork for a royal baby.

Merry Christmas, one and all.
