It's all about love.....

The tree is coming down tomorrow afternoon and will start some Valentine quilty gifts for my friends!  I have a pattern from an old Fons and Porter Magazine for fabric Valentine's and really excited about making some!! I can't wait to see what everyone is working on!!!  Tomorrow is a special day for my family.  The first Saturday after Christmas, is set aside for us to get together.  My grandmother passed away in 1992 and every year we all try to meet at one of my family members home!! I am so excited to see some of my cousin's that I only get to see once or twice a year!  Sure miss my Mama Hill.  She was a kind, sweet lovely woman with a heart bigger than Texas....a sweet sweet grandmother. Hope everyone has a safe and fun New Year's Day!

A few of my favorite.....






I've been married for 25 years and every Christmas my MIL buys my husband and I a Christmas ornament from Hallmark.  She also started buying my children an ornament when they were born, so when they leave home some day, they will have enough to start a tree of their own.  I wanted to share a few ornaments that are my favorite!  I simply love the one I changed my profile picture to......a pappa bear giving the mama bear a big 'ole hug!!!  Anyway here are some pics of my favs along with some of the decorations!  I took some of the pics before I cleaned up some of the storage boxes, just over look some of the clutter....Enjoy and until next time, Kathy
