One of my favorite things about Christmas is looking at the adorable handmade ornaments from over the years from my 3 children and even the ones that survived my sister and my own childhood.
They are precious and most importantly I remember receiving and giving them from a special place in my heart. Are you looking for a special holiday keepsake this Christmas?
You can easily create a Christmas Tree, Holiday Wreath or even holly with your child’s fingerprint by using green paint or green ink.
