Gift from Mamma!
FYI Mamma refers to my mother-in law who was a second mom to me!!!!

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!
