Christmas flashback, part 1

I've finally started pulling out my Christmas stuff and putting a few things out. After moving my 4 bedroom, 2 bath house into a smallish 2 bedroom apartment, it's been an impossible task to find homes for all my Christmas decorations and other holiday whatnot. I've got a very large tree in storage, so I've just put up an 18-inch tree I've had forever. Of course this doesn't give me much room for ornaments.

I'm sad that I won't be able to hang most of them this year, but I still love looking through everything and remembering when I got the ornaments or when they were made. Some of my favorite ornaments are ones my mom made years and years ago, probably in the '70s or early '80s. Here are a few I especially like.

Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow

Dorothy and the Tin Man

These are so, super fabulous! You mentioned Wizard of Oz ornaments but I didn't expect them to be so cool. (No offense to Sharon, or anything...)

None taken! I think she got them in a kit way back when. She also did a bunch of Snoopy ones (although those got split up among us kids).
