How was your Thanksgiving? Our Thanksgiving was amazing and filled with food... lots and lots of food! We played "football" with my dad's side of the family, which was fun and also made me realize how out of shape I am... yeah, I need to work on that.

Are any of you going black Friday shopping. I'm not much of a black Friday shopper, or any kind of shopper. I'm content sitting here, crocheting, while Mom and Rebekah (oldest sister) hit the mall. For some reason shopping has never appealed to me for some reason.

I thought it would be fun to put together a list of DIYs that would be perfect for Christmas gifts, so here it goes.

Christmas is the time for giving gifts, right? And you don't want to break your penny bank? Homemade gifts, I think, are better than bought-at-a-store gifts. They tell the person that you actually took time to make them something special. Besides, who wouldn't like an excuse to sit down and get crafty?
I hope you enjoy scrolling through this post, and find some good DIYs to try!
P.S. Get creative this year with wrapping your gifts. Here, Martha Stewart has some cute Packaging ideas.
P.P.S. I have been tempted all week to post this before Thanksgiving, but have managed to keep it hidden in my drafts until the day after. It was hard...

I've never been Black Friday shopping (I'm not a big shopper either), but I kinda wanted to go this year with friends. Maybe I just want to go shopping with friends sometime, because I don't think I would like all the craziness and lines too much :)
ReplyDeleteAll those look so cute! If I wasn't so artistically challenged, I would definitely try them! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
