What I've Been Pinning This Week

Hey y'all!  Happy Thursday!  I hope you have been enjoying some of my old Christmas craft blog posts.  I have some super cute pins to share with you today!  (Click pic for original source, all pics via Pinterest.)


So true...except for the whole "frightful weather" part.

Love this simple and pretty wrapping.

This is awesome packaging for holiday goodies.

Harry Potter snuggie?  It's like geek heaven!

Cute and cozy!

So awesome!
Hope you have all had an awesome week so far.  I have one more Christmas Past blog post to share with you tomorrow, and I saved the best for last!  See you then!

DIY Picture Frames

Here is another one of my favorite Christmas posts from last year.  This is a great, easy, and inexpensive gift option for family members!  This is the original post:



If you are anything like me, you like pictures.  I realized as I was unpacking that I have an insane amount of picture frames, and with leftovers from the wedding, let's just say I could open my own frame store.  But one thing I learned a long time ago is that the best thing to get your mom for any holiday is a nice framed picture.  They can't get enough!  So this is another Christmas gift, one I gave to both my mom and Matt's mom.  I found these frames at Wal Mart for $4 each!

 



I used a metallic silver craft paint and gave the frame a couple of coats.

 

I took a piece of white cardstock to make the mat, and then put in a picture of the family from our wedding.  Voila!  Perfect gift, which including supplies, cost under $10.

 


Can't wait to make some for our house too!
