These DIY snow globe ornaments are easy to make, only require a few supplies, and are something the entire family can create over the holidays. I have the best memories of different projects my mom used to do with me and my sister. We were always creating things. She would have us go on “treasure walks” as she called them.

I remember her making a big bowl of popcorn… Read More
