Personalized Photo Christmas Ornaments

It’s that time of the year again! The time to pull out the Christmas décor and get busy making your home ready for the season. I‘m afraid I have decorating ADD…I realized a few years back that I wasn’t excited to put up my tree because I was tired of the same old thing, and it was time to change it up a bit. Ever since that realization, I’ve made it a point to add something new or special to our Christmas tree. This year, I found a darling tutorial for personalized Christmas ornaments. The best part is they are so simple and inexpensive to make. Here’s how to create them.
