We usually get the kids a new ornament each year at Christmas but this year I was having a hard time finding one that I liked for Abbie, so I started looking for ideas to make some. I found this idea on pinterest and knew it would be perfect! Making the ornaments was super easy and took just a few hours (only because I made so many - one for each year Daniel and I have been married, plus one for each kid for each year since they were born - 29 ornaments total!). The hard part was finding the pictures. I have all our old ones on CDs in a box, but some years I wasn't very organized and it was hard to find the ones I wanted. I finally found them all, resized them to 1"x1", and laid it out in photoshop with the other squares (each one has their name on one side, the year on another, and two pictures. On the bottom, I wrote a few things they did or liked that year.) They were a big hit and look super cute on our tree! I love finding new uses for photos since I have so many photos and so little wall space!
