That’s a good idea Cherie. My mom kind of did the same thing with the ornaments – for a little while at least. They were all the Hallmark ones. I had a volleyball player and a saxophone-playing Santa (I played sax in middle school). I don’t know that she did it as much as my brothers got older though. They probably don’t care, because they’re guys.

I was in that 80′s needlepoint boom apparently as I made the same mailbox (mine is in red) and I made pointsetta coasters which are very similar to your ornament. I have my mailbox still, on the tree. At least you have some ornaments from your parents generation, I don’t have any.

Eeeh…cranberries? Sounds potentially moldy! I love your ornaments! We do some very similar things. Everyone gets a new ornament each year. This way when the boys leave home they have some of their own to take with them! It’s. In my unposted blog! I need to finish it and get it up during a freebie day!

I think the “eclectic look” is what makes the tree so special and uniquely yours! My childhood memories are filled with trees just like that – decorated by my sisters and me. Just think, some day all those needlepoint ornaments will be “heirlooms”!!
