Entry 12 - Lord and Lady's Christmas Party

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo177/db1986/LordandLadysChristmasParty.jpg

One of the best things about Christmas is all the parties you get invited to. A bagpiper piping Π's and a drummer with a good beat and you're set. A nice young dashing lord asks a beautiful lady wearing a Bjork-style swan dress (don't worry, no need to call PETA, it's all fake) to dance. A milkmaid stands at the ready with fresh milk to serve to guests; the hen flown in straight from France lays fresh eggs for pancakes and other savoury goodies; and the goose is nicely roasted and ready to be eaten. The fire glows brightly in the fireplace which is behind the rug of golden rings, and the partridge hiding in the tree takes advantage of this warmth, as does the calling bird who is manning (or birding?) the telephone. A flock of turtledoves spin around the Christmas tree finishing off the whole lovely, festive atmosphere.

I really like these pictures. Definitely better than what I expected!

Some of the images look like edited pictures... if those are completely hand-drawn I'm impressed!

No offense taken at all.
Actually, in both the Treasure Hunt, and this one, everyone has incorporated all 12 words. It seems that it is actually too easy :twisted:
I like all the pics too - I especially like the 6 birds pulling the sleigh - fantastic idea that one!

They are all too good :sad:
I wish I spent more time on mine.

Very difficult to pick one favourite though...
