Custom Sand Heart Ornament for “Our First Christmas”

Posted in wanderings in the world & web by Rosemary Lynn

I’ve always loved this ornament.

I created it from a photo I took a couple of years ago of a heart I drew in the sand of the shore of one of my favorite beaches.

And I just love the way it looks when it’s customized. This is something I’ve given to family members as gifts, and it’s just so beautiful in person!

Here is the back of the ceramic heart:

But the best part? It’s fully customizable. So it doesn’t have to read “Our First Christmas.” It could say “Our Second Christmas,” “50th wedding anniversary,” or anything else that makes you smile.

It doesn’t even have to be about couples. You could make one for your kid instead, with their name in the heart and “My First Christmas” on the back. The possibilities are endless.

Plus, Zazzle has their awesome 100% satisfaction guarantee, so it’s a great place to personalize things.
