Hello shabby friends and welcome to another fun week of inspiration and creativity here in the Tea Room!  This week Lesley is our creative host and she has chosen the theme of 'Gingham Country Christmas' along with this beautiful photo for inspiration!   Lesley asks that you create a CHRISTMAS card or project inspired by photo using RED, CREAM, BLUE AND GINGHAM!

Thanks for your understanding and participation!

I am pleased to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer, Alyson Takats!  Alyson earned this Guest Designer spot for her win in the Tea Room during the Week #188 challenge - 'FALL'.
