IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR

Ornament Debut was in July. These are the ornaments I purchased for myself this year. I have definitely bought less than previous years. It is so hard to stay away but I just can't keep doing this. I've been collecting since 1972 and I already downsized my ornaments last year. 

I went down to one tree and it can only hold so many ornaments. I have a few bins of ornaments now which I've decided that I no longer care to have, those need to be matched up to their boxes so I can sell them. I still have a few little trees that I use around the house. 

Here's my new tree from Christmas 2017.

Take a look.....

HELLO, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE

Well I skipped right over last year's newest ornaments and here we are at that time of year again. So I will show you what I bought this year. 

I am trying to wind down on my purchases but they are always so darn cute. In the next few years I will need to downsize our ornaments in half and just have one tree. Not a challenge I am willing to accept at this time! 

New 2016 Ornaments I Purchased

They each get a hook put on and a photo 

is taken on the tree for my records. 

Boxes get flattened and put away 

to keep them perfect.

My small Snowman tree is done!

If you don't know this already our daughter and her dog Charlie left on Tuesday for Montana. Mark is driving her there and Dylan has been there for about two weeks. 

Dylan graduated and is now an RN and got a great offer from the hospital in Great Falls, MT. They will not be home this Christmas and they will be missed. However this is a great opportunity for them and I wish them all the happiness in the world.
