Keepsake Ornaments

I have never been very good about remembering to take care of our keepsakes. I remember to keep them but they are in different places in storage and I never get around to doing anything with them. But when I saw one of my friends on Facebook post about making keepsake ornaments, I thought it looked like a great idea! At Michael's last night I snagged a great deal on large clear plastic ornaments and I couldn't wait to get started! 

The project was fun and so easy! I used little booties that my sister in-law knitted for Isaiah, cute little shoes and a headband given to us by a cousin for Gracie, and sweet shoes crocheted by a lovely woman who I have never even met in person for the babies. Sadly, only one of Isaiah's booties fit inside and I had a hard time positioning it to see it well, but the others turned out great! 

It's things like this that I hope will leave a legacy for my children so that one day when I am gone, they can keep those ornaments on their family tree and do the same for their children.
