Thanksgiving



So I may have done this all backwards, but I really did start my Christmas token gifts before the Thanksgiving ones. However, here they are. Little individual packs of spiced cider stamped with a little note of thanks.

Christmas



I came across this quote online the other night and it just tickled me. "I hear you've been naughty, so listen, here's the scoop. I'm running short on coal this year so you get snowman poop!" 
It's the perfect idea for co-worker gifts. Super simple to put together with rectangles, circle punches, a glue stick and a black pen. I'll fill the baggies with mini-marshmallows and attach a pouch of hot chocolate mix. Tie a cute ribbon around it all and it's all done.

Holiday Time


I wanted to make a little something with these snowmen I found at Michael's. They were a steal of a deal at only $1 each. I knew exactly what I would do with them: door decor for the boys' rooms. I covered each with some holiday paper that I've had in a stack for years (yes, years) and then embossed some naked chipboard letters with white. Took textured velvet ribbon and wrapped it around the  neck to look like a little scarf and pinned it in place with a decorative pin. Voila! Holiday decor. The white over the door hooks were $2.50 at Michael's, too. They'll come in handy to hang stockings since we don't have a fireplace or chimney.
