That is beautiful! I have a friend who would absolutely love this piece!! He's a train nut, lol almost on the same order as Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory".

Snow Valley Express is beautiful! I enjoy seeing your goals, your writing goal especially intrigues me. I love to send cards/letters (& really like to receive them). I may copy your idea of setting goals in that area for each month.
Congrats on finishing the stitching! I know you had to force yourself to work on this one, but it really does look great. Well done!
Well done. It looks fantastic.X

Congrats on wrapping up the cross stitching! Can't wait for the big finish!
You did a great job on this one.

Well done, great job on the cross stitching. You`re so close to the finish line now! :)
I have always loved this design - congratulations on finishing it. I hope you will show another picture when all the backstitching is done.
Good luck with your May goals.
