Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 25
Merry Christmas!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday & enjoying their time with family & friends. Today is our last day of freebies & since I've been rambling about holiday memories all month, I figured I'd show off a holiday picture of myself as well! Here's me & my twin brother at our first Christmas, I'm the one in pink LOL.
Weren't we adorable? Ah memories. OK, not really I can't remember a thing about the first meeting with Santa but I remember the Christmas when I got lost [as in I was playing hide-and-seek with my brother & wandered away from Mom] at the mall. When security found me wandering around, I saw Santa again, got a candy cane & coloring book with crayons to play with while my parents were paged over & over. Boy, were Mom & Dad happy/mad when they finally found me, happily coloring & eating my candy. I may have gotten put on a leash at the mall after that little stunt. Yes, I was a troublemaker!And speaking of troublemakers, here's the last of our Countdown to Christmas freebies brought to you by Kat of The Scrappy Kat!
So very cute, here's what Kat has to share with us.
"I thought I would share a couple "vintage" Christmas cards with you. The one is our family Christmas card from 1975, my first Christmas. The other card is from 1979 and shows my brother and me in our footy pajamas. I believe that is Astro from The Jetsons on my pajamas, I can remember being a big fan of The Jetsons and The Flintstones. Is it just me or did your feet get all sweaty in those footy pajamas too? Who thought polyester and vinyl covering the feet was a good idea?!?
One thing that always made Christmas Day unique for my family, is my little brother being born on Christmas Day. This meant that I celebrated my 3rd Christmas morning with my grandparents, while my parents were at the hospital. It didn't matter much to me though, as I got a pair of cowboy boots and a Big Bird toy that talked when you pulled the string....so I hardly noticed that the folks were MIA. ;) Anyway, each Christmas since my brother was born, we have had a day long celebration. We open up our presents from Santa in the morning, have a big Christmas lunch, then in the evening we have a nice supper and birthday party for my brother. My parents were always careful to make sure my brother's birthday was a separate celebration and that it didn't get just blended in with the rest of the Christmas celebration and activities. However, I just have to tell you, that we always had some cheapo relative that would just get him one small "combo" gift and say it was for both his birthday and Christmas present. I always felt sorry for him when that happened. Those jerks...it is ruining my Christmas spirit right now just thinking about that. lol To get back on track...we've celebrated Christmas Day the same for 33 years and will do it this year for a 34th time. It is my favorite day of the whole year!
Hope you all enjoy my little present for you today, Merry Christmas and Happy Scrapping!!!"
Another family with a Christmas baby! My mother-in-law was born on Christmas, it's always hard when that happens but it sounds like Kat's family had the right idea about keeping things separate, that's what our family does as well. Here's your last freebie, click on the preview to head to the store & have a wonderful day!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 24
Almost there! You are going to love what Becky of B2N2 Scraps has to share with us today so let's take a look at her picture.
What an adorable Nativity set but wait until you read what Becky has to say about it!
"One of my favorite things to do around Christmastime is to set up nativity scenes. Ever since I can remember setting up the nativity scene was a very important part of decorating the house for Christmas. We would place my parent’s scene on the mantle surrounded my freshly cut pine boughs. As a Sunday School attendance prize one year (when I was maybe 5), I selected my own nativity scene and ever since then I’ve been collecting them. My collection started small and could fit on the buffet in my parent’s living room. Gradually my collection started to get bigger and bigger and I needed more and more space in my parents house to display my scenes. There came a point where I couldn’t get them all out every year and I had to pick and chose the ones I wanted to see.
After growing up, getting married and moving out of my parents house, I started to look for venues to display my nativity scenes so that more people besides my family could look at them. I’ve displayed them at my grandmother in law’s retirement home, my grandparent’s nursing home, and at my mom’s church. I did have an open house at my house one year and invited all my family and friends to come see them spread throughout my house. It’s a lot of work to haul them to a location, unpack them all from their boxes and tissue paper and then rewrap them all at the end of the day. But it’s worth it when I see the enjoyment on people’s faces. Everyone has so many questions about the scenes and loves to talk to me about them! It makes me feel so good that I gave someone a little bit of joy.
My collection has grown to be over 200 nativity scenes from all around the world. I have scenes from 6 continents. Family members and friends have brought them back from vacations, the farthest traveled was with my sister who purchased one in Australia for me. Family members have scoured the internet for unique ones to add to my collection. I have purchased very few of them myself! Some of the scenes are handmade by people I know and are one of a kind. Some are as small as a penny and my largest is the one in my front yard that my husband hand drew and cut out of plywood for me last year and surprised me by having it in the front yard when we came back from our Thanksgiving trip. I have a database to keep track of the country of origin, the year I received it and the giver of the scene plus a short description. But I normally don’t need the list to tell me who gave me what scene or the story behind it (I do mix up my countries though). Each and every scene is special to me and I can’t pick a favorite. I have a favorite because of it’s meaning, a favorite because of its uniqueness, and so on.
For the past 3 years, I haven’t been able to display my scenes (being pregnant with twins and then having young twins!) and I miss seeing them. This year I decided on my first day of winter break and being home with my children again that I would get some of them out and show them to my kids. I want them to see my collection and to appreciate them as much as I do. I want them to know the true meaning of Christmas. I lovingly unwrapped 23 scenes (out 200+) and showed them the figures, allowing them to touch and hold the ones that are not fragile. Then I placed them high on my bookshelves so they can’t reach them! I hope next year to display my collection at a venue where more people can appreciate them and where I can get all of them out at one time.
I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas!"
Wow, 200+ Nativity scenes? That is amazing & I can see why Becky is so protective of them but I know her little ones will love them as they grow older. Thank you for the wonderful memory Becky! Here's Becky's freebie, a hanging alpha for all your layouts; click on the preview to go to the store & enjoy. I think we're going to spend the day hanging with family & eating ... what could be better?

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 23
Almost to Christmas! I'm so excited I can hardly sit still ... which is a good thing as I've got some packing to get done so we're ready to go for the weekend. Today's freebie comes to us from Amy of 3 Li'l Monsters Designs & she has a fun memory to share with us all.
"We had so many great times at Christmastime when I was a kid. My favorite memory was a tradition that we did every year. Christmas Eve before we went to bed we would listen to Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" on National Public Radio. My brothers and I would never sleep very well the night before Christmas, so we would wake up early, early in the morning. My mom made a rule that we couldn't wake them up until 6:00 am, so we would watch the clock until 5:50, and jump up and run to their room to wake them up! Then while they were getting ready, we would tiptoe into the living room, where somehow the candles were all lit, and we would open our stockings. Then someone would pass out the gifts, and we would open our gifts by candle light. After all of the gifts were opened, my mom would make breakfast, and after breakfast we would all go back to bed for a few hours. It seems that every year it was always the same tradition, and I have such fond memories of Christmas. There were years when things were tight, and years when things were plentiful, but it was always a special time for family at Christmas time!"
I'm cracking up at the mental picture of Amy & her brothers sitting, watching the clock, ready to spring into action right at the appointed time! Love it! Thanks for the fun memory Amy & here's her freebie, a set of templates to get some of your holiday memories scrapped. Click on the preview to go to the store for the download & enjoy. I know a lot of people are going to be traveling this weekend so stay safe while you're out on the road or in the air!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 22
Three more days ... three more days! While I'm sad to know the freebies will be ending soon the prospect of Christmas Day is more than enough to compensate for the sadness. Heehee, I'm weird, I know! Let's see, today's freebie & story come to us from Crystal of Digital Scrap Fun.
Love the pictures, that's Crystal in the left photo on the right. Did that make sense?
"My favorite holiday memory is going to grandma’s house for Christmas. We would go Christmas Eve (sometimes we got new pajamas) and spend the night. Of course my sister and I would be all excited and up early (my mom too :) but we had to wait every year for grandpa to shave before we could open any presents. He would purposely go quite slow just to torture us a bit."
That is so evil of Crystal's grandpa but I can totally see my grandpas doing that as well; must be a grandpa thing! Fun memory & Crystal's got a cute mini kit today, click on the preview to go to the store for the download & enjoy! I think it's time to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol with my boys, love that move!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 21
A fine good evening to everyone, it's chilly out here in the Midwest but no real snow yet. That's a good thing since my boys are still in school. Today's freebie from Amanda of Manda Lane Scraps let's take a look at Amanda & her men.
Such a cute family picture & here is Amanda's favorite holiday memory.
"I guess one of my favorite Christmas memories is also one of my most recent memories. This is a picture from last Christmas. It was the first Christmas that Jeff and I were married. It was so wonderful to be able to be a family and to begin our own Christmas traditions. We were all so excited to have our own tree and stockings. We made reindeer food and cookies for Santa (that we forgot to put out) and had a great time our first Christmas. And, we didn't know it at the time, but little Noah's there, too. We'd find out just a few days after this picture that we'd have a house of 4 this year. I can't wait for this Christmas to be able to spend it together again."
Finding out you're expecting another little one is such a great gift! I hope Amanda & her family are enjoying their first Christmas as a family of 4. Here's Amanda's freebie, a set of 6 brag book templates; click on the preview to go to the store & enjoy! I've got to get moving on finishing up all the teacher gifts I need to make!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 20
I'm in complete baking mode right now, gotta get cookies made & in the freezer so all I have to do is take 'em out & decorate them. Let's take a break & see what Paula of CutieFruity has for us today, a wonderful holiday memory.
"During Christmas, most families have traditions of setting up a tree, lights, having a big dinner, etc. My family growing up is a little strange in that we just don't get into the holidays that much, add to that the fact that we were pretty poor, and we made do in some interesting ways. Any Christmas cheer was usually brought by my sister and I. One year we had to make a tree from cardboard because we never got around to getting a tree. Some years my dad would go out on Christmas Eve and pull a tree out of the dumpster, or get the last one for free from the tree lot. One year he cut a huge piece of sagebrush down from the desert and brought it home. I don't recommend that, by the way, we had moths that ate our clothes for a year. They came into our warm house and thought that hibernation time was over. This all sounds awful now, but at the time, it was what we had, and that was okay.
Something my mom would always do that I've carried on in my own family is making most of the gifts. I don't remember ever getting that hot new toy (except a Cabbage Patch doll in '84), electronic gizmo, or bicycle. We always got clothes and toys sewn by mom. My sister and I got matching dresses, and the best part, our dolls would, too! Sometimes it was the aforementioned Cabbage Patch that would match, or it would be a new outfit for our Barbies. We LOVED having matching outfits for our dolls and I really wish I had the picture of us in our froofy taffeta dresses, awesome ponytails and headbands, and matching Barbies. I'm sure you'd all get a good laugh out of that. The other tradition is that my Dad always got Old Spice aftershave. It got harder ever year to keep him from knowing which gift it was, but he was always able to guess.
I hope you all have the best of Christmases this year. Get creative (that isn't that hard for all the awesome people who will read this, I know how creative you are!). Things are difficult for many families this year, but I know that we can use our talents to our advantage. I'm off to sew all my children some pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve, and some matching dresses and Barbie clothes for my daughters. In the meantime, you can pick up an alpha set from me, 85 pngs: uppers, lowers, symbols, and contact sheets. I like how these turned out, like glistening snow! Enjoy!"
I think Paula's family had it just right, it's not about what you get or how much you get but the wonderful memories that come from being together as a family. It sounds like Paula's family had plenty of love to go around, thanks so much for sharing! Today you get a alpha freebie to go along with all the other parts of the countdown; click on the preview to go to the store & enjoy. Remember to keep wishing for snow on Christmas!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 19
Working hard or hardly working? I think most of us are working hard right now so let's take a look at the next freebie, this time from Jodi of JMC Designs, to give everyone a little scrapping break.
Oh my, I am dying of laughter here, check out what Jodi has to say about the picture.
"This is a picture of me at Christmas time in 1968, I was 3 and completely in love with this scary looking paper mache Santa Clause. I carried it with me everywhere. I didn't care about the presents or goodies or any of that I just wanted to play with Santa. I don't really remember if I thought he was from Santa or not, but it was a sad day when mom made me pack him away until next year. They finally went out and bought me a new Doll because, I just wasn't getting over missing my friend and of course the new doll made everything better. Also it is funny that I still stick my tongue out when getting my picture taken. I think I won't look into it to far and just decided it is probably because I love to make my family laugh, even at my own expense. LOL. This is probably one of the first Christmas memories I can remember from my childhood."
Too funny & I stick out my tongue when getting pictures taken as well, much to the chagrin of my Mom! Here's Jodi's freebie, a cute little mini; just click on the preview to go to the store for the download & enjoy! We are in full holiday prep mode right now, not sure if I'm going to get everything done by Christmas or not but I'm sure trying my hardest!

They finally went out and bought me a new Doll because, I just wasn't getting over missing my friend and of course the new doll made everything better. Also it is funny that I still stick my tongue out when getting my picture taken. I think I won't look into it to far and just decided it is probably because I love to make my family laugh, even at my own expense. LOL. This is probably one of the first Christmas memories I can remember from my childhood."
Too funny & I stick out my tongue when getting pictures taken as well, much to the chagrin of my Mom! Here's Jodi's freebie, a cute little mini; just click on the preview to go to the store for the download & enjoy! We are in full holiday prep mode right now, not sure if I'm going to get everything done by Christmas or not but I'm sure trying my hardest!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 18
One week to go until Christmas, everyone got their presents wrapped & gingerbread houses made? No? Then you'll need to check out this picture & memory from Heidi & Lori of Scraps N' Pieces, it's sure to get your creative juices flowing. Or just make you really hungry.
I need to learn how to do that! As you may know Heidi & Lori are sisters so they have a joint memory as told by Lori.
"Our favorite family holiday memory growing up was making gingerbread houses. Each year my mom would make homemade gingerbread houses, one for each of us. We would then decorate them and then give them to our elementary school teachers at the beginning of December as a Christmas gift. Three out of four of us had the same kindergarten teacher and she was always so excited to have us in her class so she could get another gingerbread house. She would sit down on Christmas Eve and eat hers with a cup of milk. I've [Lori] carried on this tradition with my own boys and now that they are out of elementary school, they still want to do houses every year, they just eat them by themselves now that they don't give them to their teachers."
Thanks for the memory guys! Here's the Scraps N' Pieces freebie, a great template to add to your stash; click on the preview to go to the store to download it. Now I'm going to go bake some gingerbread & see if I can make a house of our own. I'm thinking we need to bug Heidi & Lori for good gingerbread house making tips since they've had years of practice!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 17
Getting more & more excited as the days go by! Let's take a look at what Misty of Designs by Snowlady has for us today. Here's a picture of Misty & her sister in 1974, Misty's the cutie on the right!
I think Santa looks a little tired in that picture, what do you all think? Here's Misty's memory!
"One of my favorite Christmas memories was from Christmas 1974. When my sister and I went to the living room Christmas morning, we found our gifts from Santa including a Wizard of Oz Emerald City play set. The set included the yellow brick road and all of the characters. My mom could not just leave it in the box. She set up the whole play set including posing the dolls along the yellow brick road. My sister and I played with that set forever."
That sounds like such a fun gift, wonder if the set had that little gatekeeper on his ladder at the door? Misty's got a set of cute edged paper that would go great with any of the minis; click on the preview to go to the store to pick them up. I'm bet that this weekend is the one with the most Christmas parties of the season, don't forget to be safe if you're out & about having fun!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 16
I have to say I'm loving the pictures from the designers, it's really quite amusing to see how a lot of the stuff that other people got/wore for Christmas were so similar. Case in point, here's Sarah of In The Small Things at age 3.
OK, who remembers Pound Puppies? I do! Check out what Sarah has to say about this adorable picture.
"I was three in this photo, and I was so excited about getting this Pound Puppy for Christmas. It became my favorite toy that I couldn't sleep without. I still have her up on a shelf in my bedroom, ragged and thread-bare. I haven't had many out-of-the-ordinary Christmas experiences. My family has a very predictable, very vanilla, very family-centered Christmas celebration every year, so the craziest thing I can remember was when I was younger (maybe 5 or 6) and on Christmas Eve our furnace quit working. Needless to say, our house was freezing, so we piled in the car and drove the hour to my Grandma's house to spend the rest of the night (we were planning on going there Christmas morning anyway). I just remember so excited and feeling like I'd never be warm again after waking up so cold in the middle of the night. Amazingly enough, that's the most out of the ordinary that my Christmases have been! LOL."
Hey, nothing wrong with having ordinary Christmases; sometimes that really what people want! And as to the Pound Puppies, I actually have a handmade one that I got as a birthday present from a neighbor around the time they were popular & that picture of Sarah brings back so many great memories. Here is Sarah's freebie, a full sized kit! Hurry up & click on the preview to go to the store for the download, it expires in 24 hours! If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, why not take a drive around your city to see the lights?

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 15
Getting closer & closer to the big day, my kiddos are doing lots of fun holiday stuff in school & I'm loving all the cute crafts they are coming home with! This is really a time of the year to celebrate family no matter who you are & Tracy of Growing Pains Scrapped knows all about how to celebrate. First, here's a picture of her adorable kids at Christmas 2010.
Loving that deer in headlights look! And the memory Tracy has to share with us is very special, it's from her family's 2009 Christmas letter & the special announcement they had to make.
"Dear Family and Friends,
This year for Christmas, we have decided to tell you a story. This story is about Christmas, family, love, miracles, surprise and joy! (All things “Christmas”…right?) So, pull up a chair, make yourselves comfortable and read on…
T’was 3 weeks before Christmas, and all through the house, everyone was stirring and bustling and planning…except of course for the mouse. You see, we have not a mouse in this house! Mama had been busy online…doing her shopping the smart way this year and avoiding the crowds! Sister and Brother were making lists, and remaking lists, and adding to lists, and trying SO hard to be good so that Santa would grant them their hearts desires! And Papa, well Papa, was doing his “thing”…going to work, making threats to call Santa and eating all of the goodies that our neighbors were bringing our way!
Well amid all this planning and eating and shopping, Mama got a feeling that something was “missing”. Something just wasn’t quite right! What could it be? Well, Mama being Mama, she thought and she thought, but she just couldn't figure it out. So, she did what comes naturally to her – she did some math! Some math, you say? Is Mama insane?
Well, Mama did some math (just the basic kind - counting…backwards and forwards). Hmmm”, thought Mama. “I’m not quite sure, but I think this absolutely, positively calls for a test”. A test, you say, now Mama really is insane! She’s too old for tests!
So, Mama put her feelings and her math to the test. “Hmmm…double hmmmm”! Mama was just a bit confused (I know, I know, Mama’s aren’t supposed to get confused)! “I think I will have someone else help me with this test”, she said! So, she did! Two more times, in fact! Could this absolutely, positively give mama her answer???
Meanwhile, the children are nestled all snug in their beds. Nothing seems to be missing to them, you see. But, why would it? They’re dreaming of sugar plums, and skateboards and desks! And still trying their darndest to be good!
Well, our story is nearing its end, and I’m sure you’re wondering, “did Mama ever figure out what was “missing”…or is Mama just crazy.” No, Mama’s not crazy! We promised you a story about Christmas and family, love, joy and surprise. So, without further delay, we’ll finish our tale…you see, Mama was right…something was missing! In this season of hustling and bustling and buying and giving, mama is sick, mama is tired, mama is ornery…mama is…well…mama is absolutely, positively pregnant!!!! See…we promised you joy and surprise and I’m sure that you can’t be anymore surprised, shocked or happy than we are! After all these years, another miracle has been sent to our family! "
Such a wonderful Christmas present to find out you are pregnant, thank you for sharing that wonderful letter Tracy! Here's your freebie from Tracy, click on the preview to head to her store to download the mini kit. I heard Here We Come A-wassailing on the radio yesterday & had to look up what wassailing was. It's similar to going caroling but did you also know that some people do Orchard Visiting wassailing where they sing to apple trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year? Amazing what you can find out via the interwebz!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 14
We're over half-way through the Countdown to Christmas freebies, I hope everyone's been enjoying the goodies & hysterical adorable pictures of our designers. Seriously, we all know we have pictures just as crazy lying around, I know I do! Let's take a peek at what Michele of MDK Scraps has for us today, a super cute picture of her & her brother from Christmas 1991.
Michelle has a really fun memory to share with us today.
"Many Christmases have been spent traveling to either my Grandparents' farm or my other Grandparents' lake cabin. I have several memories of driving on snowy, icy roads, including one when I was younger where our car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I love the many memories of eating, playing card games, and having a great time. One of my favorite memories was when I was maybe 10 years old. There was a huge present under the tree and our parents told my brother and I that it was a gift for my mom. I know my brother and I had many ideas of what could be in the box. One idea that I remember is that it was a huge griddle, since ours had recently broken. We thought mom could make some huge pancakes. When Christmas came our parents told us that the huge gift was actually for the two of us, turns out it was one of those 6-in-1 game tables. My brother and I played countless games of miniature pool and air hockey on that thing.
My husband and I usually don't exchange much for Christmas but this year I told him I really *really* want a DSLR Camera. In the beginning of October he told me to go buy one so I did! I told my girls that Santa came early for me this year because I was so good!"
Now I have to say it would be tossup this year if I had to choose between a new camera & a game table, can you imagine how much fun those tables are? Thanks for the memory Michele! Here's
today's freebie; just click on the preview to head to the store for the download. Do you think that you'll have some visions of sugar plums in your dreams tonight?

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 13
So many holiday movies to watch, so little time! While you're watching some holiday movies, how about scrapping some layouts with all the great freebies from our designers? Upload your layouts to the Gallery, the ladies love seeing what you do with their kits! Here's today's holiday story, from Christi of Designs by Christi.
"My mom always told us that if we didn't believe in Santa Claus that he wouldn't bring us presents. So even after someone told me he didn't exist when I was in 6th grade, I still secretly believed. I think I will instill that in my kids- it just makes Christmas time a lot more fun when there's the magic of Santa!"
Santa really is something special, I can still remember feeling crushed when I found out the truth. Thanks for the great memory Christi & here's her sweet mini kit; click on the preview to go to the store for the download. I was looking through some Christmas quotes & found a funny one by Bernard Manning: "I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included." Evil but I love it!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 12
Right now is when I really wish I either had a nice big fireplace in our house or that we lived on the Ecuador. How little kids can stay outside in the cold for so long I have no idea. But I still love the Christmas season & am really enjoying all these stories from our designers! Today's story & freebie come from Lahni of Queen Wild Scraps.
"My favorite memories of Christmas are the getting and setting up of the tree. We'd usually go out into the mountains with all my cousins and grandparents and chop down our own tree on the first Saturday in December. Unless it was too cold - but we were hardcore and didn't miss many years. It had to be blizzarding and at least -25 for us to miss out on this tradition. Anyway, we made a whole day out of the event. We'd drive out to the mountains, start a big bonfire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows and drink hot chocolate. After we'd chosen the tree and the Dads had chopped them down, we'd get to go tobogganing. Sometimes we'd just slide down the mountainside (as if that wasn't scary enough) but sometimes our Dads would tie us to the bumper of the trucks and pull us around. We tried to carry this tradition on once we all started getting married but it's slowly died out. It's something I really wish my children could participate in...perhaps I'll have to revive the tradition!"
I have to admire families who cut their own trees, personally I like staying warm inside with a plastic tree! Thanks for the great memory Lahni! Here's your freebie for today; I think I hear my drummers drumming in the living room ... & that's not a good thing!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 11
One of the fun parts of the holiday season are all the holiday concerts you go to! Well, unless you're a music teacher's child like I was & had to suffer through a month of being a sewing model, that was always a needling time [get it? needling? Hah!]. Right, I think it's time we play a game of find Meagan of Meagan's Creations! Here's a picture of Meagan during her 5th grade choir concert, can you guess which one she is?
Hint: Meagan's parents were taking the picture so she's the kiddo right in the middle!
Just adorable, I remember several concerts like this from my pre-high school days! Meagan has a really fun memory to share with us today.
"Probably one of the biggest Christmas presents I ever got was a go-kart. I was about 8 years old and my parents told me there was a present in the back of the truck. I went outside and they uncovered a shiny red go-kart. Only I called it a go-go-kart! It is still referred to as that to this day. I was so excited, I cried. My parents knew they got me the right present that year. Actually, now as I type this I recall that I was told this present was from "Santa". It was about 2 years later that my dad dropped the "No Santa" bomb on me by telling me they got the go-go-kart for me. I still remember the shock."
I would love loved a go-kart but given my driving record it's probably good my parents never got me one; I'm so jealous of Meagan. If you like word art, Meagan's got an adorable word art set as her freebie, click on the preview to pick it up from the store. There are some Pipers Piping right outside my door, think I need to go take a look!

Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 10
So many freebies so little time! More goodies coming your way today this time from Andrea of Scraps by Andrea. No picture today but Andrea is making up for it with a fond memory.
"I will say that one of my favorite holiday traditions as a young child was going to church and watching the teenagers, including my brother and sister, participate in retelling The Nativity Story. When the play was finished we would go downstairs for snacks. Towards the end of the night, Santa would come down into the fellowship hall and pass out gifts. When it was time to go home each child was given a brown paper bag filled with fruit, nuts, and a little trinket ornament."
Such a wonderful memory Andrea! And here's Andrea's freebie, a lovely mini kit to snag; just click on the preview to go to the store. Can anyone explain why there are Lords-a-Leaping? It makes no sense to me!
