Sweet Christmas Memories

I had a wonderful time revisiting Christmas' past as I prepared for my Nov/Dec Scrapbook workshop using the new Yuletide Carol patterned paper.
Mail Order Option also available
I just love this time of year, when I work on my theme albums... it is so much fun, I think I better start an Easter one this year !! So I dug out the Christmas photos and decided on Christmas of 1994 & 1989 (yes 2 years this year). 
The memories quickly relived as I looked at the photos, 1989 was my twins first Christmas, everything seemed so magical. Then as I looked at 1994 it reminded me how they were still riding with Santa 5 years later and this was Laverne & Shirley's (dalmatians) first Christmas . I definitely feel all warm and nice inside when I look at these lay-outs. I love them!
