Christmas Memories & Gifts

Another wonderful holiday has come & gone.

All our dreams & wishes came true, we even got our 'white Christmas'.

 



 

So I'm sharing my favorite memories, gifts & pictures.

Lots of pictures.

 

 

You may recognize this gorgeous star from Rebecca, it's made more than one Christmas home tour.

 

My beautiful sister Molly, hugging Owen after receiving her #1 Grandpa notepad.

 



 My wonderful Christmas angel made for me by Dorthe, she's been with me for several years now.
 

This ornament from Carola hangs in my studio when the tree comes down.



 

Handmade gifts for teachers, I finally got to use this tutorial from Cathe!

 



 

And I also made a few of these this year.

 



 

 

 

 Another amazing gift from Rebecca!

She used some of my felted wool to make it.

I have some in my etsy shop.

 

 

The kids made gifts too.

 



 

There's nothing better than a child's face on Christmas morning,

 



or a Great Grandmothers on Christmas Eve.

 

 

Trying out all those presents.

 



As Buddy says, 

 ' We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup'.



 

 

One of my favorite gifts of all time,

my top hat from Carola!

 

 

Poor Izzy says,

'Are we done yet?'

 

 

I hope all your dreams came true too.

May all the sadness, grief and tragedy be left in 2012, leaving only happiness & joy in this coming year.

 PS

Thank you sweet friends for not giving up on me while I was on my sabbatical.
