Ornaments 2014

Years ago, my Mom began making Christmas ornaments for her two grandchildren.  She gifted them with a new ornament every year and continued the tradition for over 20 years.  The idea was to provide them with a collection of well-seasoned memories when they moved out and began putting up their own trees.  I thought it was a great idea, so even though I married into a fully grown family, I was able to start the tradition with two of our youngest grandchildren . . .

This first shot shows the ornaments with the boxes I made to hold each one, using Papertrey Ink's clever Bulk Mail Box die HERE. 

Having their names on the boxes along with the image of what's inside should make putting things away a lot easier.   Here are a couple of close-ups of the ornaments . . .
