Seeing all the holly in Savannah inspired me to cut some from our own yard to match the painting hanging above it.

I think my mantle is finally done. This is the 3rd variation, but I think it will stick. WINTER BERRIES • 36 inches x 24 inches • ©2010 Marie Scott
We just got back from meeting my mom and dad in Savannah, GA for a 4-day weekend to celebrate Christmas together.
My parents gave us the beautiful silver bowl as a gift. I especially love what it says, knowing that the saying is the reason my mom choose it for us.
“Family is belonging to and believing in each other.”
I put it in a place of honor on my mantel, under my new painting.
