  6. I am so inspired so much by her creativity - I'm totally a blog stalker at Kinsey's blog. My favorite Christmas present, maybe not my favorite but really memorable was my very own purple tape player with Paula Abdul and Wilson Phillips cassette tapes. Loved it so much and danced so much to it.

  25. I'm from Elsie's class and have been checking you out ;) I'd love to win this lovely gifty.

    My favorite gift was my son- Luke who will be 8 three days before Christmas. And as an added aaahhh factor, he arrived on my birthday! And when I was born my father was in Vietnam. He found out about me when the chaplain visited him on Christmas Eve and told him I'd been born. So I was once someone's favorite present :)

  29. I love your journal Kinsey, really cute and what a cute daughter you have. I have to say I have 2 cute daughters and son also, 2 adorable granddaughters, cute son-in-law and maybe a future cute son-in-law also (Keith, hehehe). And a cute husband, LA's dad.
    I have 2 favourite Christmas gifts, one was when LA's dad worked so hard to surprise me when the kids were all small. We were only a 1 income family and he went out and surprised me our oak dining room set that we still use now. He had it hidden at his parents house and had a plan all set up that my brother in laws car had a flat tire on Xmas eve and had to go help him. But what they were really doing was moving the table set into the house, so when we came home Xmas eve, I was so surprised and started bawling. The kids couldn't figure out why mommy was so "sad". I'll never forget this.
    #2 Two Xmas' ago, Shawn went out on his own, you have to understand HE IS NOT A SHOPPER, and bought me a really pretty necklace that I had my eye. Alot of times, most times, he'll get LA and Amanda to shop for him, but he picked this out himself. Another thing that brought tears to my eyes.

    Beth: I ALWAYS wanted a Mrs. Beasley doll when I was little, but I did have Chatty Cathy. You were very lucky.

    Love Momma

  40. my favortite christmas present was when i was about 10yrs old and our parents gave us a puppy!! After we alllll opened our presents - our parents handed us a peice of paper. it gave us a clue to go to the nintendo...where another clue was...they sent us to mom's sewing box, to the toliet, freezer, etc. and finally to the neighbors yard. where there was the CUTEST and sweetest saint bernard/Rottweiler. we named her Sadie. She was the sweetest dog ever.

    She died last year...but she lived a looonnnggg time :o)

    that's my favorite present!!

  41. One of my very favorite gifts was the cabbage patch doll i received when I was in the 3rd grade. They were a BIG deal & hard to find. I have two sisters & that meant Santa had to score 3 for our house. Our parents kept telling us to not get our hopes up. we were pretty sure we weren't getting them after we'd watch the parents fight for them on the news @ Toys r Us. We woke up Christmas morning & ran out to the family room to see that Santa had indeed delivered. We were so excited. There sat three cabbage Patch babies. I loved that Christmas & the magic it held. happy holidays!

  42. My favorite Christmas present was a raggedy ann doll that my grandmother gave to me. I actually still have it, she spent a lot of time making it. I think Kinsey's journal is fabulous! I also checked out her blog and I love her scrapbook pages too! Definitely adding her to my favorites.

  43. My favorite Christmas gift is the futon (Japanese-style comforter) my grandma sewed by hand for me when I was a child. She wrapped it in a big box and I thought it was a Barbie house so I was disappointed when I opened it on Christmas. Years later, the value of the gift came to me as I imagined my grandma in her sewing room carefully pinning and stitching away, spending all those hours to give me something truly meaningful. Even though she might have suspected I wouldn't understand its value then.

  57. The best gift is sitting right here next to me!(watching Spongebob). We had difficulty conceiving and one night I had a dream stating we would have a boy named Harrison and he would be born when it was snowing around Christmas. I told everyone about it and they were like, "yeah right,weirdo!" A few weeks later we found out we were pregnant. I just knew he was a boy.While thinking of names we found out Harrison is an old family name on my dh's side. My due date was Jan.20th but they were really off on that and he was born Dec.28, during a snow storm with Christmas decorations all around. I really feel like he is my gift because we wanted a child so bad and prayed for one. We have not been able to conceive since (4 years later). So it really is like my special gift from God. :)

  63. Wow, the journal looks awesome :)

    I think my favorite christmas gift would be a ring my grandpa bought me one year. It has my birthstone on it, and at the time, it didn't seem like a big deal to me (I was a teenager, all I wanted for christmas were cds and clothes). Since he passed away, I've worn that ring almost everyday and thought of him each time I put it on. I LOVE that ring now.

  70. Ya gotta love all things Kinsey! Such fun, such talent!

    My favorite gift was finding out right before Christmas 23years ago that I was pregnant with my daughter! We were getting ready to start treatment for infertility and found out, very unexpectedly, that we wouldn't have to. My dad was visiting us here in CA (from MI) for the first time and was here when we found out--it was a gift to be able to share that time with him because, little did we know, it would be the last time we'd see him; he passed away suddenly and very unexpectedly two months later.

  71. Hi there...my favorite/most memorable Christmas present has to be the barbie dream house I received when I was little...my dad spent most of the night assembling it so Christmas morning when my brothers & I woke up it was all set up right in front of the tree! I don't think I ever believed more in Santa! *oh to be young again*

  76. The greatest Christmas gift I've ever received is probably a necklace made by my boss [this year, for our Employee "Dirty Santa" gift exchange]. Everyone had to make their own gift and then we got to "swap" [or "steal"] others away.

    Other than that, you can't go wrong with a Gift Card from my favorite store! :)
