When we returned we were back at it and 3.5 hours later it was done. She was determined to have the best Christmas tree ever. However, we'll have to work on ornament 'clumps'. ;). I let her help with most of the less likely to break items with the exception of a pair of mittens that I received in 2007. Some of my favorite ornaments are those stitched by my friends. Lily put up candles from Lucy, hardanger from
Shannon, a Santa from Tracy, but I put up my mittens from Cathey.
Needless to say, it was a little emotional. I look at my tree and it blows my mind that someday someone will be reacting similarly to what I've made over the years for my tree (or so I hope!). Even this year Faith Ann posted her tree pics...and there was an ornament I'd made for her, side by side with her own set of mittens. The sentiment was priceless
Until next time,
Katie

Beautifull tree, wonderfull DD.. cutie girl
How wonderful you have this special memory of Cathy to adorn your tree. I have some ornaments from ladies that have passed too, it's nice to remember them each year when you think of the love that went into the stitching of the special gift just for you.
Your tree looks super.
Seeing the photo of your little girl trimming the tree brings back wonderful memories, Katie. How I miss those days when my sons were young and loved helping out at Christmas time...
How special to have Cathey's ornament on your tree each year...
Lovely mittens =) And for sure, gifts we will treasure forever!!
Sweetie, do you know something about my question to continue PPCBF? Again, thanks for your help!
