I'm Susan of Susan's Christmas Shop. I've always loved Christmas because of the fun of growing up in a family of ten children, and I've always loved handmade things. In 1969 I began making Christmas ornaments and from the start people bought them and asked for more. Soon I was in juried shows and museum shows and my work was chosen for the permanent collection of the Smithsonian. I'm often asked for my work by collectors and it does appear in the shop when I find time to make it.
