Gift Ideas

Remember I said I was going to focus on winter celebrations, like birthdays? That’s what I’m doing the whole week, and I’m going to be using SEI’s awesome WinterSong for my projects. For my first, I bring you a gift box. Lately I’ve really enjoyed putting together the packages I give gifts in almost as much as giving the gifts! After the holidays, there is a tendency to have about 15,000 metal tins lying around that housed nuts and delicious peppermint bark. Don’t give them away – reuse them!

Speaking of gifts, I’d like to share with you a gift guide I put together. If you are a weirdo who likes blue, you may like all of these. If you are a blogger, making a gift guide is a great idea for your readers – I personally love gift guides! If you are neither a weirdo who likes blue nor a blogger, putting together a gift guide is still purposeful. You may find your next cool craft idea!
