2025 Christmas Ornament finishes for Kayla, Matt, Emily, Laura, Hanna, and Jessi

 I have finally fully finished all of the Christmas ornaments for my 5 Great Nieces and 1 Great Nephew.  These have been stitched over the past couple of years.  A couple of months ago I picked the 6 I want to give this year (yes, I have 6 stitched for next year).  I did the fully finishing up until finishing the back.  I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do to the back and then once I decided I was afraid to carry it out in case I messed it up.  Saturday morning I decided it was time to be brave and get on with it.  I think they turned out pretty good.  Hope they like them.
