Happy Birthday Blog

A picture from where it all began. Thanks, Big Boy! We can't believe a year has already gone by. Starting this blog has been a lot of fun for both of us. Documenting "notable" pictures, events, or things that peak our interest has been our main goal. Our direction may not always seem defined or specific, but we do find it fun to post items that strike us as something that may be nice to share. There are times the blog inspires us to capture a moment in our lives that may have gone by unnoticed. We look forward to another year!

I was just going through my rather small Christmas decoration collection and am very pleased with my discovery. I almost forgot all about these. My sister and I made them, probably when I was about 4 or 5 years old for my grandma. She would hang them on her fireplace mantel every Christmas. They are the twelve days of Christmas made from the plastic melty things. I haven't seen them around since they 80's - do they still exist, I loved that craft? Unfortunately grandma passed a couple years ago, but I am grateful my mom found them when going through her stuff before they sold the house. This is a great time to take a moment and remember those we've lost and the happy memories we've created along the way. Happy Holidays! -A
