friends and family.
and if that was not possible
I hope that you were able to find something in your life to be thankful for.
The poinsettias are in bloom and they are gorgeous!
It is the down to the last week of prep time for our

The Brooklyn Bridge
Cony Island 
We are using the water wheel to make a ferris wheel!
Window Displays 
The first one is Tiffany's, we will also have Macy's,
Lord and Taylor's, Bloomingdales and Saks.
Window displays are one of the most fun parts of a NYC Christmas,

HERETimes Square 
Broadway 
Central Park 
The grand finale will be Rockefeller Center but we have not started that yet.
I have been crafting for weeks, one thing Ive been making are
traditional German "Scherenschnitte" cut paper ornaments
I made about 100 of these to sell at the show.
It is a lot of work but people really enjoy small , handcrafted ornaments.
I work on project all year long.
This is where I have been, and will be until Christmas,
making ornaments, bows and wreaths.
I will post photos after the show.

Oh, my goodness, Beth, what a lot of work. The show preps look great, and the flowers are beautiful.
Woo Hoo!!!
I very much enjoyed this post. Thank you.
Such a big show. Thanks for sharing with us, it is great fun to see!
Beth, you are a fine motivator for getting the creative flowing. I would love to one day walk through your show. May your flowers stay bright and you heart warmed by what you pass on to others. HUGS to YOU!
This looks amazing! I love poinsettas and that whole backdrop of NYC is very awesome! Anxious to at least see pix. Might have to take a day trip. Its the first weekend of Dec. right?
Hard to believe there is anyone else alive putting out as much creative energy as you do. You scare me, ha.
I'm 'sitting on the suitcases' here, as they say in heebie. If things work out well I'll stop by during the show to gawk and gasp. (In addition to engineering getting 'snowed-in' with you-uns later. ♥
hey great post
pretty view
I'm sure everyone put their love into their hard work --- those are amazing work, I must say. Love the poinsettias and the theme.

What does Cider have in his mouth in that first photo?
wish I could see it up close and in person! Thanks for the glimpses here.
I love the Angel ornament, is it made from paper? Your show is a grand event. You all have a great talent to share.
From cowboys to the big apple in one year! I can't wait to see the final show.
Beautiful ornaments are you making. It will be a heue Christmas party I guess, with lots of fun. Doing all this preparation must make you proud to be part of it.
@maddlines - They are traditionally made of parchment paper but I also use card stock because it hold up better year after year.
@boxedwine - he has a scarf on with a bootie and bell at the end of it that the groomer put on him after she dipped and brushed him, got him ready for the visitors to the show, they love him!
