I created this Magnolia scene as kinda my homage to those bi-gone days. The kids are all older now, three of them are married and two have children of their own. I think I might need to change up the Christmas decorating and ask all the grand kids over for a decorating party and start a new tradition.
This cute little Tilda is like my daughter, Liz. she is colored with Copics V04, V06, B0000, E01, E02, E15, E19, E35, White gel pen, and yellow and pink Spica pens.
Edwin is like my youngest son, Phillip. Always helpful and tall enough to add the star at the top of the tree. Edwin is colored with Copics - E01, E02, G17, G14, B05, B06, C1, C3, C7, E15, E19, E35, White gel pen and several colors of Spic sparkly pens.

Stamps: Magnolia Edwin with Lights, Tilda with Present, Garland Tilda, Digital Delights tree from Christmas Accessories Set

This little Tilda with a gift is like mom and dad who add all the Christmas presents after the tree has been setup. She is colored with Copics - R37, R39, Y06, Y08, B05, Stickles, C1, C3, C5, C7, E15, E19, E35, White gel pen
