A Crafty Soiree #121

Hi Crafty Friends! 

Can you believe Christmas is NEXT week!  I hope you've got most of your holiday preparations, and are ready to show off you latest projects!  I'm excited to see what you've all been making, baking, and creating!  And if you haven't tied the last bow and baked the cookie, then I know we'll still have many wonderful ideas linked up here, to help you make your days merry and bright!  Here are some fabulous examples from last time:

We've got home decor ideas like this Striped Merry Days and Silent Nights Sign from Rae Gun Ramblings,

and also ways to give your decorations a more masculine but still festive twist like this DIY Man's Wreath from Ruby Jean.

We have lots of yummy looking treats like these peppermint meltaway cookies from Silver Boxes, it's just not the holidays until I've eaten something with peppermint!

There are always many of cool, unique, and just too darn cute handmade gift ideas, I couldn't stop oohing and aahing over this adorable buttons & lace baby outfit from Ninth Street Notions.

And we always have lots of clever tips and tricks to share, like this I spy travel game from Mae Armstrong Designs that is a fun way to keep the kids occupied while traveling that also has a cute holiday twist.

Merry Christmas!

All year long I am inspired and amazed by all of your creativity!  At this time of year, I feel especially blessed that you've taken the time to come join me and Malia each week and been generous enough to share your talents and become part of our rich and treasured online lives.  I wish all of you the happiest of holidays!
