Remember the first place you lived with a Christmas ornament featuring one special element of that space, the key! See how to easily turn some dollar store items into a keepsake Christmas ornament of your first home.

While we are very excited and happy in our new home, we, of course, have fond memories of our first home we just left. And while yes, we did give MOST of the keys from that place I wanted to keep one for a special project for our Christmas tree and made this Christmas ornament.

Supplies:

  • Plastic ornament (mine was an upside down mason jar style)
  • Key
  • Ribbon
  • Cricut Glitter Vinyl (and the Strong Grip Transfer tape it came with)
  • Cricut Air Explorer 2 (LOVING this machine!)
  • Fake Snow

The thinking and overthinking of this project took up more time than the actual crafting! I decided that while it was important to include the “Our 1st Home” design on the front, I thought it was just as important to include the address on the back as well. Moms know that #mombrain is real and I may forget the place I lived for 8.5 years of my life!

The ribbon bow came together easily with some hot glue and fake snow from Dollar Tree completed the look!

I love that we got to hang this on our tree this year in our new house while still playing homage to the place we called home just a few months earlier.

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate piece shown on the video and add it to the back of your pennant to help it hang more securely, hide the ribbon and not move as much when hung.

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
