Dreaming of the Beach

With all of the crazy winter weather we have been having here all of the elves are dreaming of the beach! Just the thought of warmer temperatures and playing in the water helps us get though the cold weather and snow. Where is your favorite beach to vacation at?

Minnie has a Ball….

Minnie is all set for a fun day at the beach with her friends. Minnie is dressed in a cute pink bikini with her signature pink bow and matching sandals that have a pink flower on each. The colorful beach ball is a great addition and something fun to play with.

Sunshine Memories….

A speck of sand
between the toes,
the splashing waves,
a sun-kissed nose,
each memory of
that beach-time fun
will warm a heart
like summer fun!

Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments … the perfect way to capture memories, big and small!

A Day At The Beach….

A comfy chair on the beach is what many people dream of. The drink with the umbrella in it just makes it perfect!

All of the elves have now started vacation plans to the beach. We would love to hear from you where the best places are to vacation. We will need a pretty big place to stay with everyone from The Ornament Factory going. Jack the Elf has already started to plan the menu for the week. While you wait for those summer beach vacations you can work on your summer tree and check out these Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments and more at http://www.hallmarkornaments.com .

The Winds Here at The Ornament Factory Have Me Thinking of this Classic Movie…..

We have been having some pretty strong winds here at The Ornament Factory. It was making me think a tornado was going to come and sweep us off to Oz like in the classic movie The Wizard of Oz. Here are a few of the Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments from that movie. You can see all of the at http://www.hallmarkornaments.com .

Dorothy and the Munchkins….

The little people who lived in Munchkinland were overjoyed when a tornado dropped Dorothy’s house right on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. Although the Munchkins were shy at first, they were soon telling the story of the “young lady who fell from a star,” celebrating her as their hero. They didn’t know how to grant her wish, to go home to Kansas, but they had an idea. Perhaps the wonderful Wizard who lived in the Emerald City could help.

Glinda the Good Witch Arrives!

The beautiful Glinda, the Good Witch from the North, was there to help poor Dorothy and her dog get back to Kansas.

2006_glinda.jpg

 

Wicked Witch of the West….

The Wicked Witch of the West orders her Winged Monkeys to “Fly! Fly!” as she commands her henchmen to fetch Dorothy (and her little dog, too). She can’t wait any longer to get her hands on those Ruby Slippers!

hallmark_2011_wicked_witch.jpg

Poppy Field….

A unique ornament. This Hallmark Keepsake Ornament highlights one chapter in the story of Dorothy and her search for the Wizard of OZ.  The Wicked Witch of the West and Nikko, a winged monkey, watch with delight through their magical globe as Dorothy and her friends make their way through the field of poppis. While going through the field they find themselves becoming very sleepy. When you walk past the ornament or turn it from side to side, Dorothy and her friends seem to appear and disappear.

hallmark_2001_poppy_field.jpg

Off to See the Wizard….

“We’re off to see the Wizard – the wonderful Wizard of Oz!’ With the joyful song and a happy step, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion follow the Yellow Brick Road toward Emerald City. Oz is so bright and beautiful, full of colors and sights that Dorothy never saw in Kansas. Still, she hopes the Wizard of Oz will be a wonderful wizard and grant her wish to go home, along with scarecrow’s yearning for a brain, Tim Man’s longing for a heart, and Cowardly Lion’s quest for courage.

hallmark_2005_offtoseewizard.jpg

I am hoping that we do not see any flying monkeys or Glinda the Good Witch around here anytime soon. If we do get swept away hopefully there will be some ruby slippers in it for us. The children around us are really happy because school got called off due to the high winds.

We have a busy week ahead of us! Never a dull moment here! Have a happy Monday everyone!

A Cozy Evening on a Cold Winters Night

On a cold winter’s night it is nice to cozy up to the fire with a soft blanket and your dog and a special someone. With all of the cold weather we have been having here at The Ornament Factory a cozy evening by the fire sounds nice. We are going to be having some even colder temperatures in the next few days. Stay warm friends!

Best Night of the Week….

Beautiful Winter, How Will You Decorate?

Winter time always bring up the debate of how to decorate. Do you leave up your Christmas decorations then go straight to Valentine’s Day? Do you have winter decorations like snowmen up after Christmas before Valentine’s Day? For those of you who like to have winter decorations, here are some Hallmark Keepsake Ornament suggestions for you. You could have a winter themed tree, a wreath, or just have the ornaments around your home.

Winter Garden Ready for Sledding….

When there is snow on the ground, the first thing I think of is sledding with all of the other elves. Thankfully we have many good places to go to around The Ornament Factory. After we are done we always enjoy a nice warm mug of hot chocolate.

Snowmen of Winter GardenCardinal Carols, Snowmen of Winter Garden….

A snowman wakes up to a bright red cardinal perched on his bird house. There are many ways to decorate a snowman you make. This snowman would look great on a tree with all his snowman Hallmark Ornament friends.

Snow Buddies #1….

First in the Snow Buddies Hallmark Ornament Series. This Hallmark Keepsake series is dedicated to smiling snowmen who have fun playing outdoors. The snowman has a colorful hat and scarf and is playfully playing with the bunny.

hallmark_1998_snow_buddies.jpg

Winter can be such a fun time. There are so many cute snowmen and winter Hallmark Ornaments that you can use to decorate with. What is your favorite Hallmark Keepsake Ornament to use for decorating for winter?

The elves have been busy at The Ornament Factory but also making sure we get time to go outside and enjoy the winter weather. The snowball fight the other day was so much fun! Little Daniel the Elf has a strong arm on him for being so little. Brandon the Elf was so fast running to hide. He was hard to get with the snowball. It is so nice to have all the elves around to play with and enjoy winter with.

That’s all for now from The Ornament Factory! Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
