Holidays Handmade: What a Week!
December 13, 2010
Wow! What a day 7! What a week!
Weren't Liz's jigsaw pins the coolest? I'm tempted to steal a few pieces from a puzzle around here, but what would I do if someone actually tried to do the puzzle and discovered the missing pieces? Although I loved the commenter who said she was a teacher and always had puzzles that had a ton of missing pieces and how now she knew what to do with them!
And Pia is so adorable, right? I was amazed by the suite of gifts she was able to put together on a very small budget. So clever! Makes me want to bake some homemade gifts. But, alas, I am a terrible baker!
Also, I got an e-mail yesterday from a blog reader named Jen who wanted to share a holiday tutorial she had put together on how to make these fabulous ornaments:
So now some housekeeping:
