Holly Jolly Week Day 2

Welcome everyone to day 2 of Holly Jolly Week here at Homesteader's Heart.
Remember tomorrow we are linking up our favorite most favorite go to Christmas Cookie recipes!
Since I'm baking next week I'm hoping to get some new recipes to try.


Okay, I just couldn't choose which Christmas craft to share with you today so here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to show you my finished crafts and if you would like to know how to make one or all of them I will send you a word doc. with instructions via email.
That way this post won't be a 100 miles long. Because trust me, it would have been 100 miles long and I don't care how much you love me, I would have lost you at around the first mile. LOL!
With that said all you have to do is just send me your email and what project you want to know how to do in a separate comment.(Don't worry I won't publish it!)

First up is my favorite ornament craft.
Glittery Present Ornament!
I really had fun with these!
Warning: You will continue to see glitter on you and around your work area for months to come after this one. LOL! I'm just letting you know!
Second is my Christmas JOY Picture Frame!
Oh this next one really came out better than I thought it would.
I had a lot of fun making this one.
It's a Hand-Painted Wooden Christmas "themed" Checkerboard.
Isn't it just too cute? The playing pieces are painted peppermints and presents.

Lastly I wanted to show you how easy it is to make your own Christmas Cards.
These are just a few!
What do you think?
See anything you want to learn to do?
Just let me know and I will send you instructions on how to do them.

Don't forget to get your cookie recipes ready to link up tomorrow.
And if you haven't checked out the giveaway go here to see what you have a chance to win!

BIG HOLLY JOLLY HUGS TO YOU ALL!

  2. Oh my you are the Christmas Craft Queen! These are all such great ideas and all well done. I just love to do these kinds of things, but life has been so hectic for me for so long...but 1 more week of school for this semester. So please send me the instructions and JUST MAYBE I'll have time to play a little. I'm hosting Christmas with my siblings and families on the 19th. That checkers game would be so cute. Pretty sure you already have my email address....but just in case....karenm@cpamurray.com

  8. I LOVE the checkerboard and the glitter ornaments! But the ummm.....glitter not so much...haha!
    I would love to invent glitter that wouldn't last for months after a project or would stay permanantly on the project! :D

    They are all great crafts though!
