In my house the day after Thanksgiving is when we can officially and unabashedly start celebrating Christmas. So I am super pumped for today. And because I am so excited for today I wanted to make up something fun to celebrate this special day and this "Week of Sales" we have happening. So everyday until December 6th, I will be posting 2 different ideas for using your awesome photos for the holidays, one for the crafty crafters out there and one that can be easily purchased from your Photography by Kait online portrait gallery (for those who would rather have your gifts easily ordered, assembled, and shipped to their destinations without you having to break from your revelry).

Let's kick off today with these two lovely gem!

#1. For the Crafter: Salt Dough Ornament with Photo ~

• Uses: Ornament, Gifting, Decor
• Cost: Low
• Expertise Level: Low
• Why it's awesome: It's easy, it's adorable, and it is a perfect gift/decor item to be given by anyone/to anyone. Got kids, do handprints family. Pets? Pawprints! Or you can just make fun shapes and paint, stamp, carve, the options are endless. Plus with the added fun of having a photo on the back (instructions are in the link) it makes it super personal. This is going to be a definite in my house this year.
