Hey ladies, she may have an edge because I just dig her name!!

Nancy also has an Etsy Shoppe, Scoopiloo, where she makes simply wonderful items.

Here's her most recent purchase, our Sugarie Delights ornament. It is for her simply cute as a button daughter; who's favorite color is... purple!

You know Nanc, I liking that tree next to my snowman... it's just too cute!

I could be mistaken but I think this was the first ornament that Nancy purchased last year!

This cute little girl can't compare to the cutie it was made for!!

Not everyone is willing to place a guard dog up to protect my ornaments, but my gal Nancy will do whatever it takes to make sure they remain safe and sound!! :D

Here are just a few items that can be found at Nancy's shoppe, Scoopiloo:

Check back after the holidays when she's back from vacation.

Joyful Joanna's Entry

Christmas Season!

The kindness in her heart is so warming and to see her tree just makes

me so proud.

I never realized how everyone decorates with my little creations.

Here's a full length picture of her tree and boy Joanna, it sure looks full!

And here's a close up of the same tree and wow, the snowmen are so

abundant! So even if it's warm outside, she still feels the joy

of building a snowman in her own home!!

Thanks Joanna, for sending us your pictures and I'm wishing you good luck!! :D

Creative Colleen....

One of many entries by Colleen. Here's her main tree...

Geez, Colleen, this is just wonderful to see all these ornaments!

How tall is that tree anyway?

It seems that Colleen also has an auxiliary tree as well!

And it seems that on the day the picture was taken, their Elf on the Shelf was hanging out on the tree!!

I hope he tells Santa how good I've been all year!! :D

Every great designer has collections... ;D well, so does From Nancy's Heart

and there was a time when we did a whole Sweater Collection and

it's one of Colleen's favorites.

You know, they are really quite neat!

And of course, the REAL reason we all celebrate the Christmas Holiday...

Thanks Colleen for your submissions!! They are terrific pictures. :D

Back to Business...

Wow! You may need another tree!! That's so touching that this tree is just filled to the brim!

The top view of the tree. Very nice.

Another close-up. So special. Katie, thanks so much for all your support.

Good Luck and Happy Birthday!

Hey there, contestant #3!

And the pictures keep rolling in!  

Thanks again to everyone, it's really terrific to see all these pictures.

Ok, here's our next contestant, Brenda... and she has sent in 6 pictures of some of her favorite ornaments.

Brenda has told me that the above Snowflake ornament is her favorite.  It's a old one isn't it Brenda?  I remember this guy really well - the year 2000!!  But you know I think he's missing his nose or perhaps a light bulb???  :D

Oh wow, what a blast from the past!!  I Love doing these girls!!  I remember their yarn hair!  I think I may still have some in the workshop!!   I think that was before my decade of Glitter started!! 

Well here's Mr. Flamingo just hanging out...

And, what's this?  Oh my goodness, these babies must be over 12 years old!!! 

That Angel was one of my first ornaments ever; wow, how amazing!

Ahhh, and here's a more recent snowman, so cute in pink!

Well, I have to say, looking at these pictures is really making me feel quite old - but you know I was only 10 years old when I started!!  I wish!!

Thanks so much Brenda for sharing your ornaments with us... And now, she is entered in our Ornament Contest....

How you ask?  Well, all she did was send me photos of my ornaments hanging on her Christmas tree.  The deadline for entry is December 24th, 2009; and you will win a lovely grouping of my "Peppermint Village" ornaments.
