Thrifty Thursday Week 54






You all ready for Santa?  This is my second Christmas as a crafty blogger, and I am amazed by all of the handmade beauty in the spirit of the season.  I don’t remember ever being this energized creatively.  The more I do and see from you all, the more ideas I have, the more I do.  It is an awesome cycle.  You all help me in the process of growing into my creativity and… well, I love ya for it.  Thank you for all of your hard work, encouragement and generosity.  You rock.

Ok.  Business now.  This is the last Thrifty Thursday between now and Christmas.  Whatcha got?  If you need tags for those gifts, stop and grab some of the adorable free printable tags at Printable Decor. Shameless self promotion over now.

Featured Projects:

  • Meet Vanessa, the woman behind Nifty Thrifty Things.  Her blog is full of beautiful photographs, design, recipes, crafts and more, with a vintage flair that always keeps me interested.  I love this paper snowflake garland she shared last week.

  • Jen from At Home in the Northwest caught my eye with this monogram welcome mat for a whopping $7.  I can’t get enough of monograms these days and this take on it is one I hadn’t considered.  Great look, simple and cheap… that’s all I need.

It is a handmade frenzy up in here.  There are so many things I want to make that I am actually dizzy.  Not only that, but Thrifty Thursday will be one next week, and I launched a new website, Printable Decor.  Stop by and check it out if printables  and free are your things.  You can also submit your own printables to be featured.

Ok.  Nuff about me.  I want to know what you are making these days.  Thanks for being here and spreading the inspiration.
