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 …
I usually purchase these Hallmark ornament series in July but this year it slipped my mind until now. I’m so excited to be able to say that they are on their way to me. As an aside, I was so sad to find out that my local free-standing Hallmark store closed it’s doors for the …
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.

My first post back is going to be about the darling Hallmark holiday ornaments I had picked up either before Christmas or during the 75% off post-holiday Hallmark sale back in January 2016. I have …
Card-writing has become just a little bit more fun with my discoveries of Thomas Kinkade and Terry Redlin… along with those classic jingles, a mug of warm spicy tea, candlelight, and a large table to spread out and work. I really envy their artistic skills! Have you seen how gorgeous Kinkade’s and Redlin’s cards are? …
I hope all of you have been enjoying your holidays. They’re not over yet… Though this is the Christmas season, I’d like to backtrack and post on some cute little Hallow’s Eve items I bought previously in the beginning of October created by Midwest*CBK. An inexpensive way to spruce up a room during the holidays, …
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! Happy New Year!!! I spotted these lovely piecrust cutters in the holiday edition of Williams-Sonoma’s catalog and was instantly inspired! Aren’t the pies just gorgeous with not too much effort even?! I ordered a set of these holiday cutters and a fall leaves version. I’m going to get back into …
