Thanks to everyone that helped me with all of the word suggestions! I really appreciate it. You guys came up with some really good words.

Reuse Christmas Packaging
Christmas brings lots of presents and gifts, but it also brings lots of cute boxes, pails and other packaging that you can turn into a gift or decoration. My mother in law got this super cute pail filled with hot chocolate. The second that I saw it, I knew that it could be turned into…
Wood photo puzzle
I saw this wonderful idea and could not resist making one for my family, but I wanted to do mine with photos instead of pictures. After reading her tutorial, I tried to think of another way to make these because the idea of sanding and cutting the blocks didn’t sound too fun, plus we don’t…

Post-It Note Holders
When I saw this idea I knew immediately that I wanted to make them for my son’s preschool and sunbeam teachers. So I went to the dollar store and picked up several 4×6 plastic frames. I cut the decorative paper out 4″x6″. Put some scrapbook supplies to finish it off. Just in case you are…
Cake stand
As I was looking through blogs, I saw a cute idea to make your own cake stand. So I headed to the dollar store and picked up these two items. I didn’t really care for the texture on the candlestick, so I spray painted it brown I first started with the plate. I loved the…

Birthday Calendar
This is one of my favorite gifts to give. It seems like calendars are a fun gift for Christmas, so why not give them a calendar that lasts more than one year! It is also nice because all of your birthdays are in one place and you don’t have transfer them every year. I used…
Stamped Tea Lights

WELCOME
I made this welcome sign using just normal wooden blocks and then painted them. When I finished up the painting, I felt like they needed a little something. So I went to my craft room and went through the tons of things that I have for scrapbooking. I have a circle rug in my entry…
Fabric squares
While shopping at Hobby Lobby, I found some square canvas looking things that had a horrible design, argyle with a picture a lady by a river. They were only a $1 so I saw the potential in them and picked up three. I covered the whole canvas with fabric and used a staple gun to…
Christmas Advent Calendar
I saw this adorable idea here and couldn’t resist doing it. I took 24 squares of paper (cut at 2 3/8″) and rounded the edges with a rounding punch. I then inked the edges with a stamp pad. The circles were made with a circle punch about 1 3/4″ in diameter and then stamped each…
