Melissa says, “Trimming the Christmas tree is most definitely the one thing that sets the mood and creates that feeling of Christmas here in my home. I always look forward to seeking out the perfect tree, rearranging the furniture to create a space for it, and bringing up boxes of lights and decorations. My mom presented me with my own ornament each year as I was growing up, so I have the most beloved stash of ornaments now, each with a very special meaning. Now I carry on that same tradition with my own daughter. The lovely, playful, creative, and inspiring ornament stamps and dies available in this release each brought back memories of my childhood and getting to recreate those ornaments whether with stamps, felt, or paper, has certainly set the mood for a wonderful, crafty, holiday season."
