“Holiday Cheer” 

Tree Decor by Shelley MacGibbon | The Mood Floral Co. 

We are so very thankful to Shelley MacGibbon of The Mood Floral Co., whose creativity and generosity bring such beauty to our holiday season. She designed a stunningly decorated tree that graces our December cover, and we appreciate that she graciously allowed us to photograph it. The ornaments and accents came from her eclectic shop, a place filled with gifts, candles, and all kinds of treasures. The tree reflects her unique eye for detail and her passion for creating joy. 

We especially love her BELIEVE sign, which we took to heart. It reminds us to believe in the spirit of the holidays — to believe we can find peace, love, and joy in our lives and in our community. We encourage you to stop by her shop at 302 Ouachita, to see the wonderful items she carries — each piece has its own charm, just like the decorations on the tree. 

As 2026 approaches, we pause to reflect on the blessings and friendships that have grown throughout 2025. This year has been filled with moments of connection, laughter, and shared experiences. We look forward to continuing that spirit in the year ahead — gathering together, having fun, and building even more memories. 

We deeply appreciate everyone who has contributed to the success of The Springs Magazine this year. Whether through your time, talent, or support, you are part of our extended family. Producing a monthly magazine truly takes a village, and we are grateful you are part of that village. 

As the holidays arrive, we wish you peace, joy, and celebration in whatever way you honor the season. You are in our hearts and prayers. Thank you for your friendship and your business. May 2026 be filled with blessings, happiness, and new opportunities for us all.
