It’s a DIY Kind of Christmas

Share this!

We did A LOT of shopping over Black Friday weekend!  Three stops that are always on my list are Starbucks, World Market and Hallmark.  I always get Starbucks gift cards to go around.  Hallmark is filled with so much joy and happiness.  World Market…let’s just say that I could happily live in the store.  We get a new Christmas puzzle each year along with lots of other goodies from Hallmark.  If you know me then you know that I am all about some DIY.  I was so elated to find a DIY option at all three of these stops and simply must share them with you!

I will start with Hallmark.  I went it for a puzzle.  I picked one and cannot wait until the break starts so my family can get it put together.  I also found THIS!  All of the little itty bittys are so darling but this one…this one is my favoritest ever because it can be turned into anything and anyone.

I bought it and brought it home.  I whipped out my stash of Kunin felt and started to create.

Before I knew it, I had in my hand an itty bitty of ME dressed up for Christmas. Ta Da!

This HAT!  I love it.  The pom pom trim is from Expo International!  I might have gotten a little excited and made her a house too.  A DREAM house in black with white polka dots AND a pink ruffle roof.

And now for Starbucks!  I always have a really hard time choosing from the many fantastic gift cards.  Not this year!  THIS one is the winner.  It is a do-it-yourself version and I LOVE it.  I bought a couple of three packs to doodle on and give as gifts.

The wine size gift bags from World Market are PERFECT for decorating and making personal!  Being a member of the World Market Ambassador Tribe is such a super fun part of my career.

I love it when big-box, mass market retailers offers these kind of options for people like me!

Merry Holiday,
