A few of the wow moments, or things I discover each week that tickle my fancy. I hope that they may inspire or tickle yours too!
Free Printable Reindeer for the table or mantle, or whatever. Found on Fuxia Atelier.
I love this little Burlap Reindeer Ornament, don't you? It's really easy to make too. Found on Inch of Creativity.
DIY Snowman Mugs. So cute! I think they are just adorable. They'd be lovely with a hot chocolate mix in a baggie inserted and then given as a gift along with a candy cane stir stick. Found on Sew Sweet Vintage.
I would never have thought of this. These are wine glasses turned upside down. How often do you see a single wine glass in a charity shop etc. This is a great repurpose. And you wouldn't have to do snowmen. You could personalize them to any holiday at all. I can see hearts for valentines day, or even a keep the glass clear and put a winter vignette inside with little twinkle lights. Great idea! No source.
Free Paper Doll Nativity. I Love it! From Design Dazzle.
DIY Mini Cranberry Wreath Place Cards. Cute. From Say Yes.
I just love this simple wreath. The neutral colours, the black and white photos . . . I love it all. From Dear Lillie. Plus she gives you some ideas on how to dress it up for every season.
I just adore this easy to make Christmas Tree Garland that you make using cupcake liners. Found on One Perfect Day. Simple! Sweet!
Lumps of coal Crispie Treats with a cute poem to print out. Loving it! From Big Red Kitchen.
A fun Family Evening Tour of the local Christmas Lights, complete with round trip ticket and popcorn. What a brilliant idea. People don't go in for a lot of lights over here, but I know that they do in North America. This would be a lovely activity to do with the family. From Moments with My Miracles.
Free Printable Christmas Jokes for children! I love it. From Nurture Store.
Let the kids decorate their own cardboard box gingerbread house. What a fun activity. A great way to keep them busy once school lets out for the holidays! From The Strickland Kids . Where or where was the internet when my own kids were growing up. I wish I had known all wof these great ideas then!
Printable Roll-A-Snowman Game to enjoy with the kids. Kind of like snowman Yatzee! From Mrs Albanese's Kindergarten Class.
Snowman Cheese Sticks! What a great classroom gift for the holidays. Simple to make. From Do It And How.
What a cute way to display the Christmas Cards. I love it, Merry Mail by Craft Fabulous.
And there you have it for this week. I hope something clicked with you and that you found something to inspire!
A thought to carry with you all day . . .

"A Christmas Candle is a lovely thing,
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away
As it selflessly grows small."

ReplyDeleteThese finds are awesome. I am going to share them with my children.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear friend for all the research to find these. I am not crafty but I do have daughters and daughter in laws that are; so they will love these.
My favorites were the wine glasses and the children's Christmas jokes.
Blessings for these and love and hugs too.
Thanks Marsha! I thought they were pretty cute too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks LeAnn! I had no idea you were not crafty! That surprises me! You have so many other talents however! xoxo
