Framed Christmas Ornaments and a “New Framed Tradition”

So I have had my tree up for a while now, but this week I made a wonderful addition t my tree! My “new framed tradition” is some framed Christmas ornaments!

For the last several years I have decorated my tree in  all white/off white using many different ornaments and textures. I have always loved it and received a lot of compliments on it over the years but this year I downsized my tree and I decided to change up the decor a bit also. I took away several ornaments and added red to the tree. I have always wanted to put frames with something in them on my tree, yet I never have…

THIS YEAR I FINALLY MADE IT HAPPEN!

I just picked up {10} Dollar Tree store frames…

I painted them {RED}. Yep!

{Then came the decision of what to do with them now. I got this idea that I am kind of excited about. I had all family members pick a couple of their favorite memories of the year and then I made a picture/title for the event. On Christmas eve we will revisit our “Top Ten” memories of the year!

I’m looking forward to adding this new tradition this year by sharing our top 10 memories of the year in our framed Christmas ornaments! 

And SOON, we will begin making new memories for next year!
