Sandy: I love that tree but it is so big! It didn’t look that big in Costco! :-0
Yes, I made that angel in approximately 1982. I used to do a TON of needlepoint and counted cross-stitch before developing my retinal problems. Made stuff for everyone I knew. Except myself, of course. I made two of those angels that year: One for my parents and one for my sister. I had just discovered plastic needlepoint canvas so also made Xmas card holders for them, as well as a bunch of ornaments, little custom boxes to set on your dresser and put things in, and tissue box covers.
When my sister and I cleaned out my parents’ house, I got the angel back since my sister already had hers, so it has been on top of our tree ever since.

You have a beautiful tree, Janie. Did you do the needlepoint for the angel on top?
