Although I had to stop frequently for breaks over the weeks (which usually entailed a cup of white berry tea and an episode of Modern Family), it was a bundle of fun. I highly suggest it for anyone wanting to explore their creative side (and save a little moola).
Here are a few of the gifts I made this holiday season:

Materials used: Canvas, paint, letter stencils

It says "Glittercat loves his glitterbow"

"I love you to the moon and back"

Girl, I'm LOVING these! It shows you how in sync we are that we both independently decided to have DIY Christmases! Very sweet gifts- love the silhouette pieces with the cat and girl, and the pillows are rockin. I really want to start sowing.... I have a machine, but it's just such hard work. Maybe you can teach me some day. Thanks for the blog mention :) I hope that at some point in life we will live in the same part of the country so we can craft together. I love you, friend! Best wishes for your new semester!
