crafty holiday stuff

busy day for holiday crafting today! up first we have my post at 2peas! i used these martha stewart treat boxes to display, A: edible treats (mmmmm thank you trader joes!) and B: handmade ornaments.

yeah, that top left square didn't stand a chance while i was working on this project, obviously. 🙂

jenni bowlin buttons. i have dreamed of using tons of them all at once and now i finally have. yay! click here to see all the instructions (there's a fancy free PDF you can download and everything!) thank you 2p's for giving me the kick in the pants to create something i love. elsie even joined in. she did her own boxes and made daddy oatmeal raisin cookies for his birthday last week. yes, i'm purchasing lots of these boxes for future use. 🙂 JUST using Martha boxes make me feel ONE step closer to her. 🙂 i love her! HA!

and over at the KI memories blog, i've got these 2 cute boxes wrapped up all cute and simple. i'm inspired to use kraft wrapping paper and decorate with stickers!

and for our international loved ones in the philippines and australia, i managed to make some cards. WORLD RECORD people. 🙂 american crafts/dearlizzy made it so easy 🙂

i guess you can say i'm getting a little excited for christmas 🙂 and 2 weeks of sleeping in 🙂
