Those ornaments often reflected our interests, hobbies, fads of the time. But then, when my sister and I were ready to leave home--we each had a good start for decorating our Christmas trees!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060952940613221933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131555580332221386.post-13402812863734515392010-08-08T20:43:18.698-04:002010-08-08T20:43:18.698-04:00Thanks for sharing glimpses of these beautiful pro...Thanks for sharing glimpses of these beautiful products. One of my favorite traditions is apple picking with my family in the fall and then making apple pies and apple sauce. I also love baking cookies every Christmas holiday with my kids.

This is toally opposite of my family when I was growing up, we once went to cut down a tree, could not decide, came home borrowed an artificial tree, started putting it together (which seemed wrong) then ended up at the local gas station to buy an over priced one.

Then for ME: sitting up at midnight as it becomes Christmas, drinking egg nog and looking at our tree. Now that the kids are getting older, I think Halloween will be even more fun for us, too.

These are all fabulous and I would L-O-V-E to play with any of these beauties! I'm excited to see tomorrows other 5 favorites. :)<br /><br />That Halloween line is soooo awesome. I don't usually send out Halloween cards but I might have to if I win that SWEET kit!<br /><br />My favorite holiday is New Years Eve! I love having all of my family gathered under one roof, celebrating togetherness and reflecting on the last year and also on what we want to achieve in the next. It's so fun to spend the last minutes of a year with my loved ones and to be about to count down into the next year. So fun!
