Every year I give my hubby an ornament. It usually has something to do with what went on that year (i.e. new house, new city, new cat, engagement, wedding, etc.). This year the most notable thing we did was have a complete life make-over by going vegan about 7 months ago. Since it was such an important milestone in our lives, I wanted to commemorate that for us in an ornament. Here's what I came up with.
Heheheh! Funny, huh? To make this, I covered one of the wooden tags that used to come with Unity stamp sets with decorative paper (I absolutely HOARD these -- I wish I had more!). I painted and sanded the edges of the tag and added two felt carrots (from the Easter collection at Oriental Trading Co.). I added googley eyes and some embellishments and stamped out "Vegan 2009" for the sentiment on the back.
