Here is her reaction while opening her gift!! : ) : ) : )
It warmed my heart to bring such happiness to her.
My mother-in-law loves angels so much, she named her daughter "Angel." So these ornaments are quite fitting!
...And this would be my husband's baby photo! Ha ha ha, his mother said that this was his "smile" at that age! This just cracks me up!
Here's how I made them:
Drilled a hole in the back of the shoe, then tied ribbon in a loop to make the ornament holder.
Glued cheese cloth to the inside of the shoes with hot glue.
Printed on card stock and cut out the photos.
And added a bow and some Christmas jewelry...I think this was an earring.
...love pink!!
Here is my inspiration photo.
You can visit Art Joy Stuff on etsy for similar ornaments here. She makes such beautiful things!
Thanks for visiting my little corner of bloggie land.
Hugs, Catherine

I have seen a lot of things done this year with baby shoes. How very sweet! Easy to see that your mil loved them! I have a pair of pink felted ones that I got at an estate sale. Have done anything with them yet. I'm thinking maybe something for Valentines. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
