Tweet this!

Want to make yourself a little pre-Christmas gift? Or maybe you’re feeling particularly giving but your pockets are feeling a bit light… want to start working on some homemade, creative gifts for friends and family?

Good, because I’ve got a boat load of homemade gift tutorials coming your way! :)

Here's what I'm wearing today (it's almost like I planned it... oh wait...): a braided cuff bracelet with leather and button embellishments. Craft away!

Dollar Store Adventure

Tweet this!

Yesterday, I went on a journey... to the dollar store. YES!  Did I mention I love the dollar store?

Between the dollar store and Michaels, here's what I got...

Two squirrel statues, rose candy molds, a mirror-framed-mirror, two sets of 8 count mardi-gras-esque beads, 4 spools of ribbon, 1 bag of white candy chocolate, 1 bundle of small roses, 1 bag of York Peppermint Patties, and 1 can of white spray paint.

What on earth am I doing with all of that random stuff?

I'll give you a few hints: One project is inspired by a woman named Sherry. One is Pinterest-inspired and just might frustrate the heck out of me to complete. One is for me to eat. And some of it is for a "Final Rose Ceremony" Bachelorette Party I'm hosting on Monday.

Can you guess what goes with what? ;-) Bah. I won't make you guess. I'll just come back later and show you!
