My favorite holiday memory is my dad surprising my mom with a birthstone ring, hidden inside boxes within boxes.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 favourite holiday memories to share...... th 1st is when I was a little girl, I used to love visiting Santa & his grotto feeling the magic of chritmas, my next is a few years ago I visited Boston to do my Christmas Shopping - OMG the decorations were gorgeous roast chesnuts on street corners the snow, the church bells made everything amazng, plus I even met Santa at Quincy Market!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful blog candy today! You guys are awesome! My favorite holiday memory would be... when I visited Canada around holiday season, it was so much fun watching decorated house. Beautiful lights, white snow... everything was perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory is when my dad bought my mom a new diamond ring. He was serving as a Marine in the Korean War when they became engaged. The ring my dad gave my mom then was beautiful, but the diamond was small due to economic reasons. So after about 20 Christmases together, he bought her a gorgeous larger diamond. I still have the pictures of her unwrapping it. Pure love.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway.... hmmm so many different memories. One of my fondest was when I was wrapping gifts when our first son was about 1 and he started playing on the wrapping paper. I finally just ripped off a big piece and let him play on it! He had a BALL!
ReplyDeleteGreat give away. We live down the street from Disneyland and of course we have season passes. A few years back, 2 days before Christmas, we ran into a super nice family visiting from a neighboring state. We ended up spending the evening with them. Come to find out Dad had passed away a few months prior and his favorite place was Disneyland so they came out to spend there first Christmas with out him at the happiest place on earth. We invited them to Christmas dinner however they declined. The next day (Christmas Eve) we get a call. A couple of them were sick and were in need of a few things. We dropped our usual Christmas eve activities brought them homemade chicken soup as well as a few other things. They allowed us to bring them Christmas breakfast. My husband is a chef he made quiche which is now a tradition for our Christmas breakfast. It was an incredibly spiritual experience that I will never forget. It was a perfect example of what the Holidays are supposed to be about.
ReplyDeleteLove the rolled flowers. My favorite holiday memory is listening to Christmas record while waiting til it was time to wake my parents to open gifts.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory was the year I spent it on a resort in Mexico. Christmas Eve was very traditional Mexican with the posada and pinata, the morning was so relaxing to spend on the beach, no stress, no worries, and lobster for lunch. An unforgettable holiday
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memories are of a treasure hunt that my mother created for us to follow complete with rhyming clues and a present at the end. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory is when we went skiing with our best friends.

My sister coming from Ontario to spend Christmas with us.
ReplyDeleteMy best memory is the one year when i had to pass an exam on the New year day! and i failed! but the guy i like give me very beautiful bracelet...
ReplyDeletemy favorite memories is I visited my sister a few christmas back when my nephew was just born.
ReplyDeleteThis little girl is just so gorgeous, and I never get tired of watching her.
ReplyDeleteMy favorit holiday memory was when I was expecting our 3rd kid, who´s born January 10th., and we had a nice and quiert christmas eve here. We normally didn´t have a Santa here for christmas, but suddenly that night, the doorbell rang about 9:30 that night, and as I was a bit tired, we asked the oldest son to go and open. We both looked at each other, as we didn´t expect anyone and who would go out this time a christmas eve? Suddenly he came in completely pale and just stodded, it´s fuccking Santra outside, and he was totally in chock, he was only 6 years olf ha ha ha. It showed it was our young Au Pair girl, who had got her cousing to come and bring the kids their gifts from her, so it was the year we first met Santa for real, and it is still a very awesome memory.
Stunning projects, love all cards. My fav holiday memory is when my son was born. He was born two days before the Ortodox Christmas. Hugs,Moni
ReplyDeletewonderful blog candy today! My favorite holiday memory would be when I visited Russia and i saw alot of snow and russian new year it was fantastic
ReplyDeleteThe cards are beautiful love the images, my favorite holiday memory would be when I was 11 the presents under the xmas tree were just too tempting, so one night when everyone else was curled up in bed I snuck out to that tree to have a little peek at a present, I carefully peeled back the tape so I didn't rip any paper and unwrapped it! To my surprise on xmas I would be receiving a bottle of nail polish! Not quite what I had been hoping for.
ReplyDeleteI love christmas and have lots of great memories. One of my favourites was the year my grandmother and aunt wasn't going to spend christmas with us, they lived quite far away. But they surprised us on christmas morning and had taken a night train and rung our doorbell at 7 in the morning, we were so surprised and it was a great christmas :)
ReplyDeleteMy fave holiday memory is when we were kids...we would wait until the clock hit 12am (I know we stayed up late) on Christmas morning and we would open all of our presents. Yes all of them. We were pretty sneaky...
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories comes from 2002. Christmas in a new house with a new baby.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory was a year when I was 15. With my friends we had so much fun that I will never forget)))
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday memory is having all our children and grandchildren home from overseas at once - it doesn't happen very often
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory is when I was little we decorate the Christmas tree on a school night. We would order pizza afterwards from out favorite pizza place and stay up late watching Christmas movies. It was fun family time!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do that with my children, but we live out in the country now, and schools have changed their policies with missing school :(
Thank you so much for the chance to win such an awesome stamp set.
I love this new Magnolia collection, all the stamps are so sweet. Although I would have liked to have seen more images of Edwin!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the holidays are favourites for me, when we get some time to spend as a family doing lots of fun things with no work getting in the way.

Wow, what a great candy.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday memories are every christmas with my kids. I love the sparkle in their eyes when they sitting under the christmas tree.
Hugs, Uta
I love walking around on a cold night with my sweetie looking at all the lights!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memories are the gatherings at Gramma & Grampa's...everyone in the family would get together for dinner and sharing!!...I so miss those days!!
ReplyDeleteI used to love listening to funny Christmas songs while decorating the Christmas Tree. I used to get up at night when everyone else was sleeping and sneak into the room with the tree and admire it with the lights off and the Christmas lights on.
ReplyDeleteThe first Christmas we were married, my hubby bought me a parrot! I'd never had birds, never wanted a bird and here he gives me a big noisy bird! (He was the one who wanted the parrot) The ironic thing was that the parrot ended up hating him!
ReplyDeleteMy fav holiday memory is getting a real Christmas tree with my parents, coming back home and decorating it while mom made hot chocolate! Usually watched Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Hero Arts Holiday set! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Chritsmas memory is from way back, from times when I believed in Santa Claus. Usually Santa visited us on Christmas Ewe, but this time he hadn't showed up. Finally my parents suggested that we would check out the other end of our house: maybe Santa was too busy to come in and just left the gifts somewhere. I still remember how amazed I was to find gifts in the entry of our door! It was more magical than Santa Claus visiting xD
WOW! What beautiful artwork ladies! You always inspire! My favorite memory is opening presents on Christmas Eve with just my husband and myself and a roaring fire!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards & stamps! TFS
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday memory is receiving a new pair of PJs every Christmas Eve. ;-)
Coming from an asian country, I had never had a white Christmas. I had my first white Christmas, my first real Christmas tree last year when we moved to the States. It was also a sight to see all the beautiful decorated houses along the streets. This is my favorite holiday memory...
ReplyDeleteI always looked forward to going to get a tree, being all cold while hunting for the perfect one and having hot cocoa with marshmallows and shortbread cookies once we got home.
ReplyDeletefave holiday memory? the year i got 36 pairs of socks and underwear. as a university student i appreciated it sooo much! it was funny too...my mom wrapped them all individually! that's love! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Magnolia creations!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory is going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Story. It's a rock opera that has a Christmas themed story. I first was exposed to it on a PBS special broadcast, and was absolutely enthralled with it. I have gotten to see it in person three times so far, and I just bought tickets to see it again this year. Can't recommend it highly enough. Very touching story, great music and presentation!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Holiday Memory is when my oldest son opened his first Christmas Present! Having kids makes the Holiday season alot of fun:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory was when I was young and my brother and I fed Santa's reindeer. It was just glitter that you put on the snow, but the next morning, we swear we saw sleigh tracks!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas memory is finally our first Christmas with our daughter and every Christmas since she has been home!
ReplyDeleteI have so many wonderful holiday memories but I think the most special one I have is when I was 6 or 7 and my dad making sure I got the doll I wanted so dearly. I was daddies little girl and we didn't have much money but he made sure she was under the tree Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is Christmas Eve feasts at my grandparents!
ReplyDeleteFavorite holiday memory is our birthday parties for Jesus on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower of your blog and want to say Thanks for the chance to win some HA Stamps. My most enjoyable Christmas memory was staying up with my older sister to wait for Santa. Now we knew Christmas was about Baby Jesus, but Santa did bring the gifts right. Lol. So both my sis and I would stay up alnight (once Mom & Dad were in bed) and sneek down stairs and cuddle up in a blanket on the couch. We would each take turns watching for the guy in red. We would watch Christmas shows on the tube and only one of us could go to sleep while the other kepted watch. Funny thing is, we never did catch him putting goodies under our tree. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteI pop into your blog everyday so I assume that makes me a follower of your blog. Is there any other way since I don't have a blog myself? Not very computer literate in this sense. Anyway I loved those Magnolia Tilda cards. Favourite memory is when I was younger at home (Mum and Dad still together) and my family went to Gran and Grandpa's house with all the other relatives.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just LOVE that beautiful Hero Arts set. So perfect for the holidays!! My fave holiday memory is when I was a child--waking up on Christmas morning to open my stocking and finding a donut inside so I could nibble on something while opening presents without having to stop the present action to eat breakfast!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday memory is when I was studying in Kracow there were organized jarmark (fair). I can't forget those decoraions, ornaments and the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful, beautiful cards! I love the rosettes and rolled flowers, really great! My favorite holiday memory...it is coming up, it will just be me and my girls this year! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKatie B.

ReplyDeletemy fav memory is of my dtr at 4yrs, she desperatly wanted an umbrella, i wouldnt get it for her (wanting Santa to bring it). well she was beside herself w joy that Christmas morning, took it to church on that bright sunny day, later we visted my family and my uncle was also visiting. He asked her what Santa brought, the answer... a pink umbrella and underwear! He thought for a while that was all she had gotten. i'll never forget the look on his face or on hers, so proud of the brella. and the best part.... she took that same umbrella with her away to college.
ReplyDeleteMy fave holiday memory is the first years when the kidlets were old enough to really enjoy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy fav holly-day memory is the one my dad created for his grandson when he bought him a train to go around the tree - we started picking out trains while I was pregnant with him and every year he adds another train for him.
ReplyDeleteLove the give away!

My favorite holiday memory is from living in Montreal (HEAVY SNOW) and Santa coming through the back door on Christmas Eve to give my brother and me our presents. This was in the midst of our Christmas Eve dinner/family gathering. My poor uncle always seemed to disappear during this time...it's such a shame he missed Santa! ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know about favorite holiday memory but I do remember the exact moment that I discovered that my mom was santa claus! LOL!
