October 2019

Dear KOC Member,

Hello from the Keepsake Village!  Fall is here, which means Christmas is just a few short months away.  And whether you’re just now pulling out those ornament boxes or never had the heart to put them away, we hope this issue of For Keeps helps build your excitement for the season ahead.

As you know, Keepsake Ornament Debut is just around the corner and we can’t wait to share the more than 150 new ornaments coming out of the Keepsake Studio.  Visit your local Hallmark  Gold Crown store or Hallmark.com starting October 5 to be part of the excitement.  And remember to take advantage of the exclusive Keepsake Ornament Club member Bonus Points.

Curious about what the Keepsake Studio is up to right now?  Believe it or not, our artists are already hard at work on ornaments for 2021.  So stay connected on Keepsake Community and watch for sneak peeks of their work as we get closer to 2020.  After all, here at the Keepsake Village, it’s our joy to bring the magic to life for you.

Enrollment for the 2020 Keepsake Ornament Club starts November 5, 2019.  While your 2019 enrollment benefits will continue through December 31, 2019, remember to enroll for the new year.  We’ve been listening to what you have to say and are working hard to make the 2020 benefits better than ever.  More details are on the way, and you’ll be the first to hear all about them.

On a sadder note, we’d like to recognize the passing of Hallmark Artist Steve Goslin.  Steve’s Hallmark career spanned 41 years, which included designing a number of Keepsake Ornaments, and he was recognized by many for his caring and creative spirit.  Beyond his work for Hallmark, Steve shared his creativity and enthusiasm with the Kansas City community.  One of those passions, which you’ll read about in this issue, was working with his wife, Keepsake Artist Debra Nielsen, to raise funds for the Kansas City-based charity, Band of Angels.  Please keep Steve’s family in your thoughts during this time.

Take care,

THE KEEPSAKE VILLAGE
