2017 Sneak Peek: So Much to Celebrate
Not only is 2017 the 30th anniversary of the Keepsake Ornament Club, it’s also the 30th anniversary for a few of the Keepsake Studio artists and a very special series, too.
Robert Chad
Robert Chad began his career at Hallmark with the start of Mary’s Angels, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, too. “This job has gone way beyond any job I could have ever imagined. When I started, I was one of the youngest people in the studio and now I’m the oldest male,” says Robert. Through the years, he has always strived to make each ornament something special.

Tracy Larsen
As a preschooler, Tracy spent a lot of time with cartoons—but instead of just watching them, he studied them. He spent his childhood drawing characters from The Flintstones™ and Peanuts® and sculpting them. His second year in the Keepsake Studio, he started sculpting the Spotlight on Snoopy series and has been ever since. “This series has been a good friend of mine. It’s the one ornament I do every year that I am absolutely confident people will love,” says Tracy.
Anita Marra Rogers
Thirty years ago, Anita was invited by a fellow artist to see what Hallmark artists were working on. She tried her hand at one, and as soon as her friend saw it, he told her that her career had begun. “My 30 years with Hallmark have been the best years of my life. Not only do I love my job, but I also love my Hallmark family. So many of my coworkers, and also collectors whom I have met over the years, have become family to me,” says Anita.

2017 Sneak Peek: Santa’s Christmas Clock
Santas Christmas Clock!
Tabletop Decoration
Ken Crow is really excited about his Santa’s Christmas Clock tabletop decoration, and rightly so.
“This clock does everything! It tells time, Santa comes out and rings a bell on the hour, and then the toys come out and spin as it lights up and plays music, It even has a remote control!”
If you love cuckoo clocks like Ken, you won’t be able to get enough of the sound effects, gears, and clicks.
“I love that way back when, somebody thought to make something so fun, whimsical and mechanical. If I lived back then, that’s what I’d be doing; I’d be a clockmaker,” says Ken.
