This is not my original idea. I borrowed it from my friend Kara over at her blog, Happy Go Lucky. I did mine slightly differently. I painted mine and cut the paper a bit smaller so you can see the paint. I also attached my ribbon to the back instead of drilling the holes and doing it that way. It is hard to see - but I filled it with words that were meaningful to our family and our life in 2010. I wish I had thought of this earlier...because I think it would be a great idea for a small gift for friends and family. I cannot wait until the glue dries so I can hang it on my tree. Try making one yourself.
