Mamma's snowmen (2). She had them on her mantel. I remarked one year how much I loved them! Next year, guess what was in a package for me?

This is how my collection began in 1967!
Mamma's Mouse tree!
Bags made from santa's bag at Mamma's house to hold the photo book of christmas past. Mamma made them. Santa would come by mamma's house and ring the bell and the kids would greet him. He would come in and leave his bag of toys.

One year, mike, the oldest, remarked that santa kinda looked like Uncle Harry! From then on the bag was left at the front door without santa! The bells on the bags were the bells that the 2 aunts would ring from the kitchen to announce santa's arrival. They would carry the bells in their apron pockets and "pre-jingle" to get the kids running to look out the window!
Christmas eves 1968 and on and on and on!

Thank you Gypsylulu!!!!!!!!!
An award from a blog friend I admire and have been inspired by her art makes this extra special!
I would love to pass this on to an artist I have known for a several years. She does it all with style!

Pink Saturday!!!
I am back with my Christmas memory!
The Littlest Angel, 1946
Original book of mine (see the worn binding)
My parents would read this to me over and over.

This photo is perfection. I always thought she was so beautiful and admire her film work.

Wednesday Stamper/Santa
The heart stamp has been a favorite of mine for so long. One of the first stamps I ever bought (198?)
Santa is from Paula's Kit Club!
I have been a member for 2 years and each month I get a box of papers, germanscrap, ribbons, a rubberstamp, collage sheets, charms, papers and matching envelopes and more!!! Each month is a different theme. It's one of my favorite places!!!

Three Muses Fun and Games!
I always enjoy taking a page from a magazine and then adding cutout images to tell a story!
All images are from paperwhimsy. I did this cut and paste 3 years ago and I just held on to it! So when the challenge of fun and games came up, I thought I'd show you
