Ornament for your tree! Memory for a lifetime!

 A neat idea for your family to start a tradition or capture your babies first christmas. All the memories or moments you would like to save it really easy to do. Even if you dont have kids or your kids are grown and you have a dog at home that is like your child and you want to make a ornament of that dog for your tree you have that option too. A friend of mine who is an empty nester spends alot of time with her dog Kirby The Dorkie and wanted to capture his first Christmas with a keepsake ornament. So I helped her make one for him and while we were doing that we discovered that you could make a sweatshirt with a picture of Kirby on it also. She and I both were amazed at all the things you could do with a picture.
Ornament 10-Sweatshirt16-Memories=Priceless!

This is a tradition we started this year with Mackenzie. We lost Papaw Shawby this year July 31st and so this was our first Christmas without him we wanted to remember him every year. This is an ornament we made and can make for you to put on your tree every year so that their memory will live on with  you. Mackenzie loved it and everyday she was talk to Papaw and even told him Merry Christmas.

She gave Papaw kisses when she saw the ornament it was so sweet!

She loved showing this off. Its just something little that can make a world of difference when you lose a loved one. We will do this every year and when she has her own tree we will give her this ornament to continue the tradition!

My Smart little Girl

My child is so funny I dont know where she gets that from but everyday I am amazed at something new she has done or said. Last night I was making supper and she was watching TV she turned around and said "Mom Be Quiet Please". (at least she was polite) Then I turned the stove top on and it was burning I guess old food off the eye so I turned the box fan on low and cracked the window. She turned around and told me to turn it off, I said Mackenzie I am almost finished with it. I went to the other side of the kitchen to get something and came back and she was turning the fan off and she looked at me and said "Thank You" then sat down in the chair again. I felt so bad yesterday that I came home early and John offered to run me some bath water so I jump on that. I was laid back in the bath tub so relaxed when all the sudden rubber ducks and all kinds of bath toys were hitting me as Mackenzie said move I get in. I said no baby moma is taking a bath and then you can have one well she melted to the ground and her daddy and to give her snacks to come her down. haha We have never had a hard time with bedtime.. until now! Last night she was sound asleep when all the sudden she starts screaming my name moma moma moma trying to let her go back to sleep I ignored her ha daddy daddy daddy come here moma moma moma kleenex moma moma peeez daddy daddy hey what are you doing moma daddy come here moma daddy come get me daddy help me help me daddy I thought this would never end but what seemed like hours (6 minutes later) she was back asleep. After I got my heart back together I tried to go back to sleep. She knows exactly what to say to break my heart! But then she knows exactly what to say to make me laugh so hard! There is no telling what our future is gonna hold! I cant wait!!!
