These paper stars are like paper snowflakes...only easier! You can make dozens of these in just minutes with just one snip for each star. Decorate your windows, hang them on the tree or use them for a variety of other holiday crafts. The pictures may be more helpful than the written directions alone, but here's…
As part of this year's 101 Days of Christmas series, I'm sharing a roundup with more ideas from around the blogosphere each Sunday! Today is a roundup of Homemade candy created by different people with links to their recipes. I've always loved making chocolate-dipped treats and homemade candy, but it's one of those time-consuming things…
I love to package various homemade treats in cellophane treat bags. They're much less expensive than cookie tins, look festive, are easy to prepare and transport in large batches, etc. My packaging usually includes a pretty ribbon tied around the bag and curled -- often with a hanging gift tag added -- but this year,…

I love all Christmas music, but I especially love classic Christmas carols like O Holy Night and Joy to the World. So this year, I put together a collection of printable carols. You could print these out and put them in a folder to use as song sheets or print your favorite on pretty paper…
These burlap & button bows could not be simpler to make, but they are so darling! Really, you could use this method to make bows out of virtually any material, but as you'll soon discover, I'm a bit obsessed with burlap this year. Honestly, I've always loved burlap, but I was kind of intimidated by…
