Wow, wow, wow! I remember Santamaker (have we been blogging a long time or what?) Rose's home is nothing short of amazing, I can't even imagine the hours she puts into bringing Christmas to life in her gorgeous home. Thank you for sharing this Sue. Now can you get her to start blogging again? ;>)

It is truly wonderful the friends we've made from blogging... and sad that so many of us have given it up... but great that the friendships outlast the online presence. Rose is a true artist! Those faces are beautiful and then she makes the hair and clothing... awesome! To you and Rose and your families, have a wonderful Christmas!
