Dream Book 2009

I was so excited to find the Hallmark Dream Book at my local Hallmark store. Every year I get so excited to see the new ornaments. I've been collecting ornaments since my cousin and aunt opened their stores, so many years ago. I know I can see the book online, but it's not the same as holding the paper book in your hands.

I look at it for hours and hours wondering which ones I'll buy for the year. The ornaments have changed so much since they were first created. When my cousin closed her Hallmark store a couple of years ago, she had so many ornaments for sale from so many years back. It really was like looking at a Hallmark museum. They are made so much better now, with so much detail. And so many fun motion or sound ones.

My favorites are the Star Wars series of ornaments. I have almost all of them, I only missed a couple from last year. I am so excited that they have a Han Solo one! He was my favorite on the series. I mean who didn't just love him?
And the landspeeder is too cool. I would have loved it a bit more if Obi-wan was there as well as C3PO and R2 strapped to the back. LOL I guess that would have been too much detail.
For Kay, here are two that I know she'll love. The Nightmare Before Christmas, it is awfully cute!
And the Corpse Bride. I've never seen the Corpse Bride, but I know she loves it.
I can't wait till all the ornaments are released. I also love going into the store to see them all in person, because sometimes the photos do not do them justice at all.
