"Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance — each beautiful, unique, and gone too soon." - Deborah Whipp

The whole family will enjoy making this cute holiday-inspired craft and people love to receive them as gifts!

I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas or making Christmas inspired crafts. Fortunately, I have an extremely talented sister-in-law who is a genius at crafting with kids. She made this craft with my daughter years ago. Every time we open our box of holiday decorations it makes me smile when I see the Mouse ornament. I think that it’s so cute and I want to share it with you.
