the christmas workshop
Ever since I've been done with finals, I've been celebrating everywhere with people and working on Christmas presents like a good little elf. I am determined to make my gifts for everyone this year, in part of Advent Conspiracy (mentioned in this post). As it is still before Christmas, I can't share too much of what I'm working on right now, but I can share some pictures. All you need to know is that I LOVE the gifts I am making this year and I wish I could fill my entire life with it, and I might. Soon, I will share more with everyone!
yarn wreath with felt flowers
Danielle Burkleo created this beautiful wreath out of yarn & felt. It looks so good & classy. I would make one, but I made a wreath for my mother last year. This wreath is perfect for warming up any home for the Christmas cheer.
handdrawn ornament
Aesthetic Outburst created this simple, yet clever, tutorial. Found via elsiecake, I was amazed at the simplicity and the end results. I love it! Even though it's not perfect or anything, it looks awesome. I'm definitely keeping this in mind for gift next year...!
noel letters
Brittni, of papernstitch, shared this tutorial via Danni's blog. Collaboration at its best is bringing you a great idea. While this tutorial just covers "NOEL", the basic idea can be applied to every letter/word and used throughout the year.
celebrate magazine
Bonnie Forkner, of Going Home to Roost, put together Celebrate: a winter project magazine. It includes 50+ pages of crafts, recipes & more. So sweet, right? I am so excited to sit down and craft some of this goodness. Mmm!!

Brittni, again of papernstitch, created this wonderful ebook with ten craft ideas! She created them with speed & simplicity in mind, which is perfect for people like me, who want will most likely be crafting as much as I can up until Christmas morning. Hooray for our good hearts!
And to wrap it all up, there is the perfect gift wrapping tutorial from Sunshine and Carousels viaSandy a la Mode. Presentation is important with gifts, and you have to make them look as good as possible! So important in setting the mood. And so cute.
