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.

Very cute! And very good for going vegan! Two of my daughters and myself went vegetarian over a year ago, and now two of us have taken the next step to veganism (about 2 months ago). We think it is the best thing we can do for ourselves and for the planet.
