I know it's still a little early for Christmas, but I couldn't stand walking past these ornaments. I am weirdly sentimental and like to keep things from important times in my life. Well, that means whenever I go on vacation I just have to keep some sand. So, naturally when Devin and I went to San Diego, CA with my family for vacation and the Bahamas for our Honeymoon, I kept buckets full of sand from them. So, when I saw these in the store, I instantly knew what I'd do with them. (Plus, I could make something more practical and still sentimental, while clearing some space out of my closet for the unused sand!)
I purchased a few of these, they were only 88 cents each.
Next, I filled 'em up with sand! Then I used a black sharpie to write sentimental details on each one about the place, time, and occasion. I also put some fun little seashells and parts of a sand dollar in them that we found on the beach. (Sorry, you can't see those in these pictures) I'm so excited to have these forever and can't wait to make more for our next adventures!
**Update: I showed Devin the cute ornaments and he loved them. I'm not sure what he loved more actually... the ornaments or the sand I'm going to get rid of... either way it is a win-win!
