Christmas crafts – Salt dough decorations

I decided this year that I wanted my Christmas tree to consist of more handmade/homemade and traditional decorations, rather than my usual modern pink & silver look. I was looking around Pinterest for some decoration ideas and there was a lot of salt dough – I’ve never tackled it before so thought I would give it a go with little man.

Emotional. Tears. Sadness. But we gained another gift. A gift from our angel. We have never forgotten. But we remember you even more so today. On the date that we lost you. Lost you forever. Physically.  But not emotionally or your memory. One year.
