| | A vig built on a mosaic--My 50th vignette
|
|
I usually don't post vignettes here, but I figured this one was worth presenting even on Lugnet. :-D This is my 50th vignette, and I chose to have it celebrate Pioneer Day, a Utah holiday celebrating the arrival of Mormon settlers in 1847 (even (...)
