I L.O.V.E. this album. I have a tradition in my family that I started when my first chid (Noah) was born and added another when daughter (Hannah) came along. On Thanksgiving everybody receives a Christmas ornament tucked under their dinner napkin. That was their ornament for that year for them to keep so when they grew up and moved away they would already have ornaments for their first Christmas tree. Even if you were a guest at our Thanksgiving dinner, you still recieved an ornament. I never thought of photographing and recording those memories in an album. However, I have a grandson (Austin) and I can just jump in and start an album for him. So glad I found this little page of yours today. I will be back for certain. Merrie Christmas!Dona Hope Easthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185589111594681435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140089036934018788.post-31307800982016548422012-11-27T20:56:27.444-05:002012-11-27T20:56:27.444-05:00This is a very special idea..

My Mom passed along my ornaments (one per year) when I got married, so I would have a decorated tree my first Christmas as a newlywed.<br /><br />I've started doing the same for my girls and, of course, we have all the handmade kitsch from my school years and theirs.<br /><br />This is lovely and heartwarming. I can't wait to make ours as I put away ornaments this year!Yeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249106318715869387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140089036934018788.post-45021939371577206692010-12-20T12:41:05.855-05:002010-12-20T12:41:05.855-05:00Wonderful idea - I think I'll steal! : )Wonderful idea - I think I'll steal! : )Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214986542068682933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140089036934018788.post-6089683491696249652010-12-16T10:57:10.884-05:002010-12-16T10:57:10.884-05:00Fantastic idea!

We also buy ornaments everywhere that we travel, so I'd like to do a mini of those as well. Maybe this will be the year I start working on those!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658000857913237378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140089036934018788.post-37005918708099247812010-12-14T09:47:38.139-05:002010-12-14T09:47:38.139-05:00I love this idea!
