It’s the Holiday season and Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments are in the minds and hearts of many each year at this time. I have always been a fan of Hallmark and their ornaments, and have many I have purchased and been given over the years. As part of my affiliation with Hallmark and their Love, Hallmark group I was sent a lovely ornament this year from the 2014 collection. This ornament is very significant to me at this time due to the recent loss of my dad. I was able to select 3 ornaments and they would send one of the 3 to me based on availability. I am so happy I received my first choice “Always Remembered” which is a beautiful ceramic shell that says Every life leaves something beautiful behind. This couldn’t be more perfect for my family.
Just prior to receiving my ornament in the mail I received a “surprise” package in the mail with some very pretty holiday cards that I can share with family and friends this year. I’ve been really bad about sending cards the past few years and have many Hallmark cards in my possession ready to sign and send. I’m hoping that this year, with the help of receiving these cards in the mail, I will actually move forward and send cards to my friends. I always have great intentions and want to send cards, and then next thing I know I’m receiving cards and haven’t sent any. I promise I’m better than that!
