My theme this year was all about What Santa would do on summer vacation. I decided it should be a quiet holiday at a cozy English cottage where he could bake, do a little gardening and Mrs. Claus could work on her art. Plenty of time to recharge for another season of toy making. the flowers were inspired by my moms love of flowers. The birds were inspired by my husbands new interest in bird watching. And honored my dad by using his favorite cereal in the thatch.
