More Christmas Pins

These are the pins I worn this last week.  I have a confession to reveal.  I forgot to wear pins on Friday and Saturday   :o(

This pin is sort of the one that started it all.  Rather it started for me as an adult.  This pin was in the costume jewelry that was left by my grandmother.  No one else wanted it so I grabbed it up.  Once I got this pin that is when I started adding to my collection.  This pin is very heavy.  You can tell it is old and it is the one that I keep very close to my heart.  I look forward to wearing it every year.

so sorry about the bad photo.  I really am looking for a new camera.

This pin is very pretty.  I wish you could tell.

Okay - I promise new camera real soon.

I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays.

The Christmas Pins

I have a tradition this time of year.  I have a small or large depending how you look at it collection of holiday pins.

Beginning on December 1st I try and wear a different pin each day to work.  On the weekends I also wear them but sometimes I will have to repeat one I have worn during the week.

So here are the ones I have worn so far this month.  I apologize for the bad photos.  Currently I am using the iPhone.  I am looking for a proper camera though.

You will find snowmen as reocurring theme in my life

This one is painted on the back of a domino.  My parents taught me how to count by teaching me to play dominos.  I remember once in 1st grade the neighbors coming over and asking if I could be their 4th for a game of dominos.  My parents let me go and I felt so grown up playing the game with all these grownups.

My friends Betty and Aldo gave this to me one year for Christmas

and this is the one I wore today

So stay tuned and I will share more during the rest of the month.

Christmas Movies

It is the most wonderful time of the year as they say.  Celebrations of many faiths take place during this time of year.  To try and keep my spirits up no matter what is happening in my life I like to watch Christmas movies.  It really helps me get into the spirit and magic that can happen this time of year.  I try and add a movie to my collection every year.  This year I purchased two.
