Welcome to Ornaments for Keeps! In 1981 a good friend of mine taught me to make personalized Christmas ornaments from bread dough. That opened the door for me to be a stay-at-home mom and also to be creative.

Since my first craft show in 1981, customers here at home and from around the United States continue to add to their collections and to buy these personalized gifts for family and friends.

In 2005 I joined Rudolph and Me as an ornament designer. This has been a very exciting move. I continue to make some of my ornaments and in order to give you a wide variety of designs, I am now also carrying ornaments from Rudolph and Me. These ornaments are made from bread dough, clay and resin. I have a great love for personalized Christmas ornaments. I feel very blessed to be given this talent. I hope each person who buys or receives these ornaments will treasure for years to come.
