Each new year fills my heart with reflections on the old and expectations for the new. While taking down the tree this morning, thoughts of "Will I always put up a tree?" came to mind. How could I not? Each ornament has its own story to tell.
Even Annie was a little sad to see the tree go. . .
However, starting the new year stitching was a perfect way to bring in 2012. Thank you Beth (Heartstring Samplery) for providing this lovely little chart.
Will you make new memories and remember the old?

In the UK it is considered unlucky to take your decorations down until the 5th so I have left one tree up and packed away the others.
The house looks a bit bare but at least I could have a good dust and polish.
I like the sampler to the left of your tree. I couldn't make out how it is displayed. Is it on a frame stand?

Your new start looks like it's going to be pretty.
I have often thought of doing a scrapbook with pictures of each ornament and tell its story--something for the kids and grandkids to treasure in future years.
