Back when Michael was one, I was looking for different ornaments we could make as gifts for the family as keepsakes of when he was little.  We decided that we wanted to do something with his hands (Salt Dough Handprint Santa Ornament) and feet.  So like any good mom, I went online to search for ideas.

Every year we try and make some type of Christmas ornament as gifts for the grandparents.  A few years ago we made these adorable salt dough footprint Olaf ornaments.

I know I've seen a lot of people talk about the fact that the school picture packages always seem to have too many wallet sizes in them.  I personally don't have that issue, there are still plenty of people in our family that carry around wallet size pictures, but I have come up with a solution to the problem that most families have.  Use those extra wallet size pictures in a Christmas ornament.  Here's how we did it.

A fun thing to do during your Cub Scout den meetings during the Christmas season is to have them make their own Christmas ornament.  Not only is it a fun activity, it will be something that will help bring back the memories they had that year every single Christmas.  I know that the ornaments I made during my Girl Scout years are some of my treasured Christmas ornaments.

I tried to do this last year as gifts from Michael, but we had such a hard time to just get two hand prints that we gave up.  Since I didn't have enough for everyone, I didn't even bother with painting the two that I had baked.
