Today I’m guest blogging at Elsie’s Beautiful Mess. Check out a fun way to recycle your grocery bags and save money on shipping supplies!

Also, I will be taking the rest of the week off blogging as I have a final project due this Friday (earliest final everrrr!) and this week is pretty crazed! I will see you all on Monday, unless I have some time to pop in and say hello.

Only a couple of days left until Christmas! But there’s still time to put together a few things to make your table more festive. If your family has casual Christmas Eve gatherings, like mine, this would be a perfect project for your buffet table.

I found these buckets for a few dollars at Pat Catans, a craft store much like Hobby Lobby. I actually bought them a couple of years ago for a bridal shower, but have been keeping them in the basement since then. I thought I would resurrect them with some holiday style using Hambly Christmas rub-ons.

This is a project that you could really do any time of the year. Hambly has a variety of rub ons perfect that are perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, New Year’s parties, and any kind of party, really. I even have a similar project in mind for Valentine’s Day!

Last year I was quite the crafty holiday girl. I made these candle holders with my dad using birch logs, a circular drill bit, and votive holders. I decorated shaker boxes with Hambly rub ons. I made Christmas stockings out of thrifted sweaters, and a tree to hang them on using woodgrain contact paper and 3M hooks. I was also inspired by the movie Elf to turn my chandelier into a winter wonderland.

This year, all I have made is a wreath from a thrifted T-shirt. I just can’t seem to find the motivation or ideas. What are you making this year? I seriously need a project. So, any ideas would be lovely!
