Pinecone Elves

Isn't this a cute craft idea to do with kids!? 

It looks pretty simple, too. 

Thank you, {Martha Stewart}!

And this one from {Woman'sDay} looks even easier!

Super fun.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Book Bags Advent

There are so many great Christmas books!  I think a good advent idea would be to read one every day until Christmas.  And to make it fun, you could make book bags to put them in, so it's a surprise every night.  

Visit {Design Dazzle} to get the scoop on how to make these cut book bags.

Merry Christmas!

Nativity Advent

If you were to look back over all my {Christmas Posts} you would see a little obsession I have over advent calenders  I have documented plenty, and here's another great one!

It's a Nativity with 25 pieces - add one a day until Christmas! 

Not only do I love the religious nature of this one, I love that it is a kid friendly decoration! 

How much would a child love putting this together piece by piece!!?  Find out more about this Nativity Advent at {Craftiness is not Optional} and you can purchase it, or a kit to assemble it, or a pattern to make  it {here}!  Super cute!!

Fun with Sweaters

This is just a collection I've gathered of some new ways to use old sweaters.

Some pretty cute wintery bracelets if you ask me!

Wouldn't sweaters make the most comfy cozy blanket!!?

How about some cup warmers?  Love it.

And I love this sweater scarf idea I blogged about a while ago {here}.

Love these sweater pillows, and the tutorial to make them on {Brassy Apple}. 

And here's a cute idea to winter up some candles, or vases.

Time to get cozy!
