I love all the little scenes within...esp. the bird...I just have a thing for birds! It's so special that the person who made it has left their name and date.<br /><br />I just realized you were from Boise. My hubby and family are from there. He's still got family there. I haven't been to Boise in a while but each time we've gone we've rafter either the Payette (hope I spelled that correctly) or Snake Rivers. It's beautiful. He's wanted to move back to the mountains since I've known him. A few years ago we compromised and moved to Colorado (Idaho was just too far away from Oklahoma and I knew it would difficult to see my family here). We fell in love. We only lived there for a year and came back to OK but I tell you...I miss those mountains every day! <br /><br />My husband lived in Meridian as a little boy also!Nancy's Daily Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644639469128423132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-70436045476837435272010-03-20T18:21:25.205-07:002010-03-20T18:21:25.205-07:00Hi Susan,

I have always wanted to make one. Seeing this post renewed my interest in perhaps actually starting one. I signed up to follow up.
