I have a Fontanini nativity inside a glass teardrop which is my favorite Christmas ornament.
Hello Cheryll,
Is it getting that close! My favourite ornaments would have to be the one's the children did when they were young. I still have a nativity set that was made in pre-school. That shoe box with the Christmas scene is worth more than the expensive one's you buy.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Bev.

I like the angel on top of the tree.
I love all my ornies!!! It is such a delight to bring them out of their tubs every year to recall who gave them to us or where we picked up in our travels. We are blessed to have family ones as well.
Lovely give-away! Thank you so much for offering!

I have a handmade bauble for each of the grandies with their names on them, they are always the first to go on the tree, great giveaway Cheryll, thanks, cheers.
Mine is a tiny jingle bell with my name on it. It's cheesy but it came from my boss. At the time she got it it was still summer many years ago. I thought it was great that she thought enough about me during her busy trip to pick up a trinket for me. I keep it on my shelf in the office all year long and still smile when I see it. I've worked there 20 years and she has worked there a few years longer. BTW...our possums don't look like your possums but I bet they're just as "loved", lol.
Thanks for asking! Ihave ornaments that date back to my grandmother's tree, and my Mom and Dad's tree, but my favorite ornament is a cat's face handpainted on cotton and then stuffed. It depicts Fred, my 19 year old cat. Both Fred and my Mom are no longer alive, and I cherish the ornament she made.
Hi there!
Love this new fun game I have found - blog-hopping!
Would be thrilled to receive your pack of treats as I get to the Christmas sewing list that I am working through.
Have a good one!!
Barbmo
Oh my how can I choose just one? Each of the ornaments that adorn my tree are hand/homemade. As I place each one on the tree I reflect back on the memories of the year it was created and by whom. Decorating my tree is a lengthly process but so worth each cherished memory. Thank you for entering me in your drawing and for participating in the quilting blog world.
My absolute favourite ornament is a little plastic snowflake my penpal sent me when we were both about 15. It's not that pretty but it pulls my heartstrings.
My favourite Christmas ornament is an angel that my brother made years ago, made from scraps of wood and copper and burlap. He thought I`d thrown it away by now, but I treasure that rustic angel.
:o)

When my mother-in-law died, hospice gave us a dove to commemorate her life. That is the fist ornament we put on the tree each year, and it is my favorite.
My mom had cancer and while getting her chemo she wanted a small project to work on.. I found a pattern for crocheted bells and asked her to make me some for my tree.. she crocheted them but didn't get to finish them so when she passed I took the bells and finished them for her.. I had other motives as they were not for my tree, Mom always made things for friends and family and the year she passed I sent everyone a bell as her last gift to them.. with this note:
I love you all dearly, now don't shed a tear, I spending my Christmas with Jesus this year.
Any ornament that my children made as they were growing up. Decorating the tree is like a walk down memory lane.

We have snow there at Christmas. To get a Santa dressed for summer was and still is so very special to me, even now. I treasure this little bit of clay...xx debbie

Thanks for the opportunity to enter this give away. Great prizes by the way.
I am a retired teacher, and when I taught third grade, I received three ornaments made from aluminum foil from a sweet little girl whose family could not afford to feed their own children. I was so touched, she had cut out the shapes, taken crayons I'd given her and decorated each one. One is a star, one is a circle ornament, and the other is more elongated, and is red, which at that time was my favorite color. The other children started to snicker, until I started to ooh and ahh and explain that I felt it was a most cherished gift because it was handmade. That she took the time to sit down and draw, cut, and decorate each ornament. I was so pleased that the rest of the class changed their attitude, and that year I received many handmade items for the end of year gifts.
Even though I am now 62, I still have these three ornaments, and lovingly put them on my tree. I have had to repair one, but they still bless my heart.
