Let me just preface this post by saying that one of my favorite parts of the Holiday season is spending time with friends and family and going from party to party. So much fun! And I can't wait to spend 6 whole days at home with my family- that is my favorite way to relax!
That said, I'm exhausted. Already. And Christmas isn't even here yet!
Yeesh! I find myself fantasizing about a whole week spent at home catching up on all the crafty goodness and home keeping that has not gotten done. Is my closet organized? No. Gotten my carpet cleaned? Nope. Used my
Gocco I got for my birthday? Not even. Sad.
So, here are a few of the crafts I will be making when I get a few seconds to myself- hopefully soon...
