I omitted the pine needles on the snowman's arms as around here-we don't use evergreens when we build snowmen-we use sticks without foliage :) I also left off the leaf in the left hand border on the bottom. :) TOO cute!

I received a gift from my friend Linda O today :) Thank you so much dear Linda :) The little gingerbread tray has found a home among my holiday gingerbread kitchen. So sweet of you and the buttons and ribbons will come in handy for finishing.
