Dare to DIY... Give Handmade!

I am all about Christmas this year. I couldn't wait to get my tree up! And start shopping! (Nearly done, too!) And do crafts! And bake!

I combined those last two things for a mini gift for a few family members: cinnamon ornaments that I'll be using as dual-purpose gift tags!

DIY Valentine Ideas

I'm not huge into Valentine's Day.

Being single might have something to do with that...

But this year I've decided to use it as an excuse to tell my friends how much I love them. It's one of those things that I think they know, but really, you can never tell someone how you feel about them or how much they mean to you too many times.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet (and it might end up being after actual Valentine's Day... but the day isn't the point). I've seen a bunch of ideas out there on other blogs and thought I would share some with you that caught my interest.

1. Valentine's Tea, 3 Ways from Design*Sponge... the heart-shaped tea bag is my favorite! But even switching out the tag of a store-bought bag with a heart-tag is super cute (and much simpler/easier!).
