Growing up in a big city, we didn't have too much access to Nature, so we made the best of what we had! Throughout the year, my dad and I would collect pine cones from the local parks and pebbles from the beach. Then at Christmastime we would make our own decorations—painting the pines cones was so much fun, and painting the pebbles too. I painted a picture of this rather than recreating the actual decorations.
