ABC CHRISTMAS -- Y IS FOR YOUR FAVORITE COLORS, AND Z IS FOR ZOO ANIMALS
Hello, and welcome back to my blog! I am a bit late with my ABC Christmas Challenge blog post this month, as I was behind on getting Christmas cards sent out, and on getting some ornaments made for my coworkers. BUT, that is all done now, so here we go! This month's letters are:
Y is for Your Favorite Colors
and

ABC CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE -- U IS FOR UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS COLORS; V IS FOR VELVET
