I love how you used your stamp to make your tree pattern. I have done a lot of cross stitch but have never thought to make my own design with mt stamps. You have opened up a whole new world for me with your idea. Thank you so much. I would love to receive this just as I am sure anyone you made these for would feel very special. Thanks again.

This is so gorgeous. Your work is exquisite. Every year, the family goes to the tree farm to scout out "the perfect" tree and have hot chocolate and hot dogs. The drive is long but the fun is worth it. The tree always seems smaller in the field and when we get home it always touches our 10 foot ceiling. We love it though. And as with you, all of our ornaments are predominately handmade over the years and I still have one that my mom had as a child in Holland. Thanks for sharing. Karen Hi. This is so gorgeous.

I have 8 kids and 8 grandkids and can't imagine Christmas without them. My husband and I are adding 4 bedrooms to our house just to have room for the holidays. Oh I can't wait!!! I love this card idea. Most of my girls can cross stitch but only because one of my sons learned it and taught it to them. Sewing is not usually my thing. I love stamping. Well who does not love stamping. I love everything about Christmas. I have 8 kids and 8 grandkids and can’t imagine Christmas without them.

I use to cross stitch too - I was horrible with the french knots but I still tried. One year I cross stitched bread covers for my mom and in-law. Another year I did hand towels for all the different seasons. My eyesight is now too poor to attempt cross stitch, but this idea has gotten me to rethink that position... ;) That tree is SOOO beautiful!
