I may have skipped the 2019 version by accident so I will include it in this post. I believe this one was sent through the mail. Sadly I don’t have any Hallmark shops nearby any longer, at least not that I’m aware of, or I would have likely purchased it from a store. This pretty …
About a month before visiting the Hallmark location at the Wayne NJ Preakness Shopping Center, I was mailed a Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event July 15-23 mini catalog.

I can picture one for Christmas (probably has been done before), of a highway full of bumper-to-bumper cars with Christmas trees strapped to all the tops. I just love the deer silhouette design with its serene setting. As …
