These cards are wonderful!

I have so many fabulous memories from my childhood holidays, and love to look back on the simple things that made me so happy. We used to make these great snowflake ornaments every year... the whole family would sit around the kitchen table with stacks of tissue paper and the rest of the supplies, and at the end of the day, we'd have dozens of lovely snowflakes that we decorated the house with, and hours of wonderful family time... hmmm, haven't made these in years, think I'll bring back the tradition this year!

Those are so much fun!
I think my favorite holiday memory was the year that I heard Santa. There was also the year my sister, who was probably a year or so (maybe even more like 8 months), fell asleep under the tree...

Those cards are lovely!

My favorite holiday memory is stringing popcorn each year with my mom. For a long time all of our tree decorations were edible: popcorn strings, candy canes and gingerbread cookies.

These are so cool! Love the cards. Really highlights what letterpress is all about. My favorite childhood memory is of taking the cheezy picture we took EVERY single year. My siblings and I in our matching jammies, mom jumping up and down trying to get everyone smiling, dad taking forever to get it together and take the darn picture, and my sister and I in our annual pose each hanging an ornament on the tree. There was always lots of laughter (and possibly some crying :)) throughout the process!

I was 15 and we just moved from NYC to upstate NY. My parents thought getting us bikes would be a good way for us to get around. My father decided to put the bikes together (there were 3). We didn't have dinner that Christmas until 10p...we had to wait until he put the bikes together. The next day our neighbor came over to put them together. It may not seem like a good holiday but, it was. We all learned a valuable lesson, every holiday thereafter, we ate first then open gifts. This way we wouldn't starve.

what a fabulous addition to your line! i love all your cards!

my favorite Christmas memory?! the list does go on. but i have to say, as a child and be beyond, my family of 7 children would always attend Christmas midnight mass. my school was fairly small in size, so all the students would sing in the choir for the mass.
i would for some reason, always buy my mother some article of clothing, or jewelry, whatever i had enough money to buy. so every Christmas Eve, as all 9 of us ran around the house getting dressed, i would always give her her present, so she could wear whatever i bought for her, to midnight mass. and she always did! no matter what it was or how hideous! i will never forget the memories of being up in the choir section at our church, looking down, and seeing my mom always wearing my present!

my favorite holiday memories revolve around going to gramma's on Christmas Eve. The entire family would meet there and we would eat and open presents. All rather simple. But a little girl had the chance to play with her cousins. It was divine.
