Most Treasured Ornaments (Part 2)

Happy Monday Everyone.

It's raining today....Yay!

Second best thing to snowing...well, for me anyway!

And on this beautiful rainy day I wanted to share with you our next 4 ornaments. I do hope you're enjoying them as much as I am, sharing them with you.

1994

Almost to the day of our 1st Wedding Anniversary we discovered we were having a baby!...Another "most happiest day of my life."♥♥♥

We had a big scare before we began trying to get pregnant....We were so afraid we wouldn't be able to have a baby but....She is our little miracle baby!

Here is a close up of the picture on the other side of the one with my hubby and me (big as can be.) It's our daughter's sonogram picture....Can you see her little face?

1995

January 18, 1995 our beautiful baby girl is born. We are as happy and can be.

(other side)

About a month after she was born, we christened her and had a little get together to celebrate. This was the little party favor I made for our guests. It says: "Keepsake of my Baptism" in Spanish.

1996

This was our daughter's very first trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth"...Disneyland. She loved "It's a Small World" ride the best.

I punched out circle and star shaped confetti and placed it in the sphere so when shaken it would float around.

(other side)

This is a "Disney Dollar" we saved from her first trip. For those of you who don't know what that is...it's a form of corporate scrip or token sold by Walt Disney and accepted at the company's theme parks. It's sold for the face value of the bill and it's mostly for collecting, but may be use to buy stuff in the parks.

1997

And for the last ornament for today.... It's the ornament that commemorated our daughter's first big, themed, birthday bash. For her first birthday we thought she was too young to really know what was happening, so we kept it small and simple. But when she turned 2 we went all out. The theme was "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." This was her first favorite movie.

I don't know if you can tell...but Daddy dressed up as a jester to go along with the theme.

(the other side)

This was the party favor that I made for our guests. They were buttons of the different characters from the movie...our daughter's favorite was Esmeralda.

So there you have it, 4 more of our Most Treasured Ornaments. I am so happy you stopped by today. Remember there are a few more to come. Please come back and check them out.

Have a wonderful Monday and an awesome new week.

Blessings to all!

Most Treasured Ornaments (Part 1)

Every Christmas, since my hubby and I first started dating, I have made an ornament to commemorate a special or important event that happened to us on that particular year... Well, hold on a minute, that's not entirely true...the first two weren't made by me, they were just embellished a bit to personalize them. Anyway, every year when we pull these ornaments out we get to relive our past adventures, memorable moments and special accomplishments. These are our Most Treasured Ornaments.

I am so excited because today I get to share with you the first 3 ornaments. So here we go...

1991

Our first Christmas together as "boyfriend and girlfriend"...I know, I know kinda corny huh? But what can I say...I'm an old fashion, romantic kinda gal. So many wonderful memories. ♥♥♥

This is an ornament inside an ornament. The one inside was our very first one. I placed it inside this sphere to give it the same look and feel as the rest of them.

1992

This beautiful ornament commemorates our engagement. Awwwww! Sigh! ♥♥♥ And actually this was the ornament that inspired me to make the others.

I use gold glitter, fabric paint to write the dates and create some of the other little designs found on several of the other ornaments.

1993

And this is the year we got married...One of the happiest days of my life. I had a fairytale wedding and I am happy to say that after 16 years we're still living the "Happily Ever After" part. ♥♥♥

Sorry I couldn't get a better picture, but this is one of our wedding pictures inside the ornament.

Well there you have the first three. I'll be posting about the others in the following weeks. I invite you to come back and check them out. Until next time.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

Blessings!

Romantic Homes

It's Romantic Homes show and tell time.

I think that out of all the monthly issues the two that I really, really, really look forward to each year are, February's for Valentine's and December for Christmas. I think they are the ones that have the most beautiful and romantic ideas and pictures.

And this year's December issue was no exception.

Just take a look at these pictures of a beautiful home decorated all in pinks and pastel colors for Christmas.

I've noticed while visiting some of your blogs that many of you have also decorated in pink...I love it. I think it's very romantic, sweet and tres chic. I ♥ Pink.

How beautiful is this mantel? Love all the little houses. Gorgeous mirror too.

Oh I just love the white Christmas tree. It's so very shabby chic!

So what's your Christmas color scheme this year?

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Wishing you an awesome day.

Blessings.
