Dimensions Gold Collection Santa's Wildlife Tree Skirt 8565 and Christmas stocking 8566 counted cross stitch kits. It's hard to find both of these retired kits together. Designed by Donna Race and copyright 1998. Made in USA. Note that the Aida has different counts for each kit.

Condition, tree skirt kit: Kit is sealed; packaging shows storage wear and crinkling from sticker removal. There are a few streaks of black marker on the plastic. There is a small area of discoloration on the Aida (see photo 8) -- the area corresponds with a punched out hole in the plastic packaging so it may be from light.

Condition stocking kit: Kit was opened to verify the contents. It does not come with a photo -- I don't know if some of the packaging was removed or if it came this way originally. It was sealed until I opened it.
