Let's Cuttlebug!


I have been having so much fun playing with my Cuttlebug!  Thanks again to Santa!  This little girl is sooo happy to have made the Nice List! 

Come along with me on my Cuttlebug journey as I learn.  If you have more experience with the Cuttlebug and what it can do, I would love some tips.  If you're a newbie like me, we can learn together.  Let's get Cuttlebuggin'!

It's so easy to embellish a simple party hat and turn it into a Santa hat for the children at your Christmas party or even for a child's birthday party that takes place during the Christmas season.  These are so simple and fun!

Christmas Tree Bead Charms



What Christmas outfit is complete without some festive Christmas jewelry?  Last year we made wire-wrapped Christmas trees.  This year we're creating them with beads.  Simple, festive, and gorgeous... also very easy!

Paper Bag Snow Flakes


I just couldn't wait to get started with Christmas videos.  Here's a fun one for decorating that I think you guys will like.  These snowflakes are a simple way to get big impact if you're decorating a large space for a Christmas party!  A great project to get the kids involved with.  So fun!  

If you're decorating a smaller space and don't want them quite so large, try to find smaller snack/treat size paper bags and you can make smaller adorable snowflakes!  Punch out some shapes along the edges of the bags before you glue them together for an added design.  You might could try doing this with red paper bags to create large Poinsettia flower decorations!  Ooh!  I think I might try that one!!!  (Let me know if you guys want to see it and I'll make a video. 😁)  These could even be done in pastels as flowers if you're decorating for a Springtime event.  The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!  Let me know which of these ideas you want to see me make another video for and I'll be happy to do it.  Also, be sure to let me know if you have any ideas that I haven't thought of.  I'd be glad to give those a try too.

Peeps Turkey


Remember, I told you to stock up on Peeps after Easter??  Here's why.  Peeps turkeys for Thanksgiving!  How cute!!  The Peeps have such a long shelf life, they lasted from Easter to Fall, and still showed another year beyond that before the expiration date.  So, always stock up on those clearance sales and use them in other seasons! ;-)  You might even be able to come up with ideas for other seasons.  Get Craftie and let me know what else you can come up with for Peeps!

Pumpkin Spice mini Gift-in-a-Jar


What better way to kick of the Fall baking season than with PUMPKIN SPICE... one of my favorite things about Fall!  This tiny 4 oz. mini-jar is perfect for it.  These are great to have on hand for yourself to add to your morning coffee, oatmeal, or just about anything!  They also make a wonderful hostess gift.  This would be great to give to your hostess at Thanksgiving or any Fall gathering.  Who doesn't like pumpkin spice?  Right??
