{followers fest} homemade christmas

Oh, hello!  

If you are visiting from the Follower's Fest, welcome!  I'm so glad that you stopped by.  Grad a cup of coffee, take a look around, and if you feel so inclined leave a little love note below :)

This Christmas my goal is to try and embrace my craftiness and creativity.  I may have to dig down pretty deep, but I'm sure there will be some success!  Last year I tried out my first batch of homemade gifts with homemade granola.  Whenever someone brings it up they just rave about it, and I love that the little things leave lasting memories.  This has inspired me to make some more homemade gifts this year.

Here a few of my inspirations:

For my lady friends I can't wait to get to my sewing machines and make these cute coffee cozies.  I made them here, and I am in love with mine.  Hopefully they will love theirs too!

This necklace always inspires me to try and make my own.  I actually have already made one but want to try and work the kinks out to get it just right.

These adorable play-do creations just may need to be made for my little cuties at school!

And then there are these...which will be made for a future date, but I can't spill the beans just yet as some of the lucky recipients may be reading :)

This Christmas season I highly encourage YOU to try your hand at making something homemade.  Even if it is some homemade granola in a cute mason jar, the thought that YOU made it makes the recipient feel extra special!

Check back for a tutorial on one of my creations!
