Hello Friends,
Yesterday I share some pics from my 2017 Christmas. Today I want to show you the gift I made for my darling Mother-in-law. I got the wooden Christmas tree form from Michael's and the photos from my sisters-in-law. I added the wooden star to the top.

| I made the tiny gifts with heavy-weight patterned paper. |

Beautiful shadow box collection, my friend! What a wonderful way to share (and keep) the memories. I'm sure your MIL loved it. :-D
OOoh I simply love this idea. I had seen something similar a long time back and ever since then it has been on my to do list. Love the color of the background and the gorgeous snowflakes especially

What a gorgeous piece, this is a real family treasure. Hugs, Valerie
Really lovely. I never did get to finish the house. I gessoed it, painted and sprayed it. I think I oversprayed it because it went quite sticky and wouldn't dry. I ended up using a lot of energy to sandpaper the edges and left it to see if the stickiness would go away. One for a few months time I think :)
This is so unique! I know your mom will treasure this forever and ever. Very creative and a wonderful gift.
