DIY Christmas Ornaments out of Vacation Momentos are Great Memory Makers

For years we spent money on ornaments while we were on vacation. I love bringing home a small souvenir from our travels, but as minimalists we don’t like to have a lot of knick knacks. Christmas ornaments just seemed like a great compromise.

We had a good thing going for a while. Then I discovered clear, plastic ornaments! I’ve had my kids make one every year as a sensory activity. I figured, why not do this with other things?

I’ve always been one to keep small momentos from vacation. I love ticket stubs, maps, and anything else that would look cute in a scrap book. Since I haven’t made a scrap book in years (Shutterfly does it for me), putting theses little scraps into a clear ornaments makes a lot of sense.

While I love saving money, I also have expensive taste and a passion for the environment. I firmly believe that you can live frugally while enjoying the finer things in life such as travel and high end products. I like fine foods and quality ingredients, I also enjoy spending money on fancy local coffee and kombucha. It’s all about the experience! Join me as I balance a budget and preserve our Earth, while enjoying the finer things in life.
