Jane~ The Perfect Christmas Book

As Christmas approaches, I'd like to share with you some ideas I have for the Gift which will bring delight when the bow is untied and the paper torn.......

This is a time of FREEDOM when we can select something special and slightly different. I've chosen three subjects. Gardening, Home Design, and Music. I hope you'll enjoy these ideas.
