Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year, everyone!

I hope you all had a great Christmas, and have a great time with your friends and family and enjoy relaxing, shopping, dancing, eating - whatever you love to do, over the rest of the holidays!

I'm so thankful for being able to have this blog to express my thoughts and ideas (and Pinterest fails), and I'm so glad I can share this with you! So thank you for being here today (insert Princess Diaries wave)!

I can't wait to see what 2017 has in store, and I think (at least hope) that it'll be better than 2016.

So I hope you continue to join me in this journey of eating and crafting!

Happy Holidays!

Gifts for Her | Under $50

Some people are easier to shop for than others, but there's a gift out there for everyone! You just have to keep looking! Here are a few ideas for her, under $50 - what a deal!

Gifts for Him | Under $50

Can you believe we're only a couple of weeks away from Christmas?? Before you know it, it'll be Christmas morning! If you're still running around, looking for gifts, here are a few ideas!

One Artsy Mama Ornament Exchange!

Happy December!! Can you believe it's December already?? Officially Christmas time! And time for gift exchanges!

I love the idea of blogger gift swaps and ornament exchanges, but for some reason have never taken part in one.  Well that changed this year!

One Artsy Mama hosted a fun ornament exchange, and I decided to sign up! It was super easy and fun to do. My friend, Jenny, from Dear Paradise, signed up too! Fun!

My exchange buddy, Kirstin, gave me tons of great theme ideas for her ornament, and I felt so bad because I didn't give any extra details of my style, but she totally nailed it!

I received this adorable little ornament from Hallmark and super cute card!

Stocking Stuffers for Her

Stocking stuffers are a really fun and often inexpensive way to give gifts for Christmas.  For family, friends, coworkers - you name it!

Here are some of my stocking stuffer ideas for the ladies in your life!

Stocking Stuffers for Him

It's that time of the year again! Time when we know we need to go shopping for Christmas presents, but have no idea what to get!

This year, instead of a bunch of little gifts, I'm giving one big gift and some stocking stuffers, so I thought I'd share some ideas for stocking stuffers for men! These can be for men of any age, and they're pretty customizable.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is right around the corner, so show your Mama some extra love this year!

1. Adult Coloring books | Mom needs to relax every now and then, so let her bring out her inner child and color! With so many themes, you're sure to find one perfect for your Mom
2. "I Love You Mom" Keychain | Your mom can carry this around with her everywhere she goes for a reminder that she's loved!
3. S'ip by S'well Water Bottle | There are tons of stylish colors and designs that'll keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold when Mom (or Dad) is on the go!
4. Mom Knows Best Elephant Necklace | How ADORABLE????? And it's so true! ;)
5. Decorated Canvas Letter | These are currently on sale, but I don't know for how long. Paint or decoupage a letter for your loved one, or spell out their name if it's short enough!
6. Shabby Chic Floral Mug | I saw these in Target one day and immediately thought of my mom.
7. Shabby Chic Floral Banner | Another Target find! This is perfect for any occasion!
8. DIY Photo Brag Book | This one might take some time to collect photos, but Mom will love to carry around a mini brag book around everywhere she goes!
9. Homemade Cake | Treat Mom to dessert! Bake her a cake or something special, she'll love it!
10. Lay Flat Make Up Case | A makeup and jewelry case that lays flat when you're on the go! How convenient! I want one!

I hope you found some inspiration for gifts for Mother's Day - Moms deserve only the best!

Non-Candy Easter Baskets

I love chocolate. I love gum. I love candy. You should see me in stores around holidays - I always gravitate toward the candy aisle.

But, we all know too much of a good thing isn't always great. Especially if it's candy. And if your body limits your sugar intake, or you're just more aware of it, then Easter baskets might be a little harder to fill.

Here are some fun (and affordable) alternatives for filling Easter baskets for someone of any age!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi guys! I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day with your loved ones!
