Christmas Oldies

I just uploaded the new version of Pro Photo and I am still trying to work out the bugs.  Bear with me while I contact my web page guru (aka my brother) for assistance.  I think my new web page look will dazzle even the most jaded.

You can look at some Christmas ornament photos while we are waiting…

When my husband and I were first dating we were both on limited budgets, so he helped me make my Christmas decorations for my tree.  I bought a bunch of little white plaster ornaments, some paint and some brushes and we painted our ornaments.  He painted this little penguin over 25 years ago, and it’s still one of his favorites.  I think he is waaay cuter than the ornament.

Some of the first ornaments I ever made were little felt ornaments.  I think I made these in the 80’s, and I still love them.  Here’s a little Santa from the set.

I bought this little plastic ornament in honor of my husband’s and my first Christmas as a married couple.  It is really not very pretty or interesting.  I’m not even sure why I got it, but we still hang it every year.

I made this nerdy little ornament (photo shows front and back of same ornament) the year after we got married.  I think I was learning to cross stitch and this was my first attempt.  This one always makes me smile.

So…I always like to go down memory lane at Christmas time.  These are just a few of my memories.

(PS  I did a little digital scrapbooking on these photos.  I used elements and papers I purchased from scrapbookgraphics.com.  There are a bunch of very talented designers over there and these little graphics make digital designing a snap.)
