A Very Crafty Christmas

14 Days Until Christmas People!

I have the most creative and gifted friends on the planet! They are the ones who can actually pull off a Pinterest craft with no problem (I know for a fact that some of us just can even). One of my dear friends Madeleine is one of those super crafty amazing people. And I would love to brag on her for a second.  Look what she made me! A beautiful fox snow globe!

It's so cute...and FOXY! 

(The world wide web is full of DIYs and tutorials to make these, but I thought this one  (  http://www.classyclutter.net/2014/11/diy-mason-jar-snowglobe/ )  was really cute! )

And then last year she showed me how to make ornament wreaths! If you want a really great Christmas craft this one is one of the best in my opinion. 

Just getting started!

They are super fun and easy to make! They are worth the time and money (especially if you get a lot of your supplies at the Dollar Tree...you know 'cause everything is a dollar?). Most DIY blogs say to use glass ornaments. This works great if you hang this is a very safe place. I used plastic and was super glad I did (a house with 6 people and 2 dogs...stuff breaks and did...don't worry, easy fix!).

Aren't they lovely!

Another crafty person is my sister Janae! This year she discovered that she loves to paint with water colors.  Check out this beautiful watercolor:

Peace On Earth

Now what is super awesome about this water color is that you can win this! Just simply comment below with what your favorite Christmas craft is and you will be entered! The winner will be announced tomorrow on my blog! This giveaway is open to everyone (Yay for all of my International friends)! If you are having trouble commenting just comment on Facebook on instagram or wherever you saw the countdown picture! 

The snow globes and wreaths are a lot of fun to make! Grab a girl friend, sister, brother, husband…just go grab someone and make something together! Enjoy each others company!  Don't worry if it turns out looking like something totally different, have fun! Crank the Christmas music and put the kettle on for some hot coco!
