Merry Kissmas

Every year I like to do a little something for my girlfriends.  Last year it was personalized stationery from Designher Gals, the year before that,nail polish for their mistletoes, etc.  This year I made these cute lipgloss ornaments. 

I purchased a large plastic ornament, filled it with Babylips lip gloss & pom poms, tied a little ribbon on the top & added "Merry Kissmas" in glitter stickers.   For those of you who have a Silhouette, you could add Merry Kissmas in vinyl but sadly, I do not. This was my best alternative & I love the way it turned out! 

I made a more glamourous style for my Bunco girls & I will post that tomorrow! What gifts are you making for the holidays?

For your mistle"toes"

For my Bunco group, I wanted to give each girl a little something for the holidays at our Christmas Bunco. I gave all the girls Peppermint & Chocolate dipped Oreos last year & I didn't want to repeat a gift. I started looking on Pinterest & found the cutest gift idea from Supreme Courtney! She gave nail polish with a tag that read "for your mistletoes" & I knew that's what I wanted to recreate! I found these cute mini galvanized buckets & wrapped a simple ribbon around it. I hand wrote a simple tag & wrapped it around the bottle! Easy peasy & in no time at all, 16 gifts for 16 great girls!

GingerKid Kit

I am always looking for fun, family gifts that are inexpensive but personal. I put together a few of these GingerKid Kits (yes, that's "GingerKids" at my son's request because some families have boys & girls & we do not want to discriminate).

I picked up a bunch of these "Really Big" Gingerbread Men from Trader Joes. And they're right, they are really big, 12" cookies which makes it easier for little hands to decorate. They come with their own frosting and decorations.

Of course, I had to add a few more sprinkles. I started with clear cellophane bags and added gingerbread men, snowflakes, christmas trees, m&m's and other christmas colored sprinkles.

I topped each bag with these cute & free Gingerbread printables from TomKat Studio.

They are all packaged up and ready to deliver this weekend! What gifts are you making this holiday?

Wall Puzzles

I was looking for wall decals for a client project & stumbled on these Wall Puzzles created by Modern Eden & Blik . The fun wall puzzles are extremely durable, movable & reusable.

Wall Puzzles come in four different habitats: “Grassland,” “Rainforest, “Farm” and “Polar” and each form a 36” x 9” animal scene.

 Individually, the puzzles are not too difficult for toddlers, but when all four sections are aligned in a row they become an engaging challenge for preschoolers. Best of all, they don’t use any precious table space and will hang out until your child is ready to play

Measure up

I am SO ordering this tape measure watch as birthday gift for my favorite seamstress.  My son said that it would make a "cool" belt & I was horrified of the idea of it around my waist for all the world to see but love it as a watch band, absolute creative genius.

To order yours, visit undoneclothing on Etsy.
