I kind of don’t want to share these little guys with you, but I feel morally obligated. We may or may not be “incorporating” these into our wedding day so don’t you DARE try to steal my idea, but have you seriously ever seen a more clever little hostess gift? I am in love. Check out other products for sale from Kersplash at her Etsy store!

Um, is this not the coolest thing you’ve ever seen? Cheese trays made out of recycled wine bottles! I want to order 12 of them to have on hand for hostess gifts and birthdays…

Ok, you may feel free to call me crazy. I am completely, all out in Christmas mode. I am one glass of Rioja away from pulling out the boxes and decking the halls of the house. The only thing holding me back is the threat of no presents should I attempt to decorate before Thanksgiving. What’s a girl to do? So instead of decorating, I’m spending my time scheming and window shopping. As I was perusing the holiday aisle of a local store I found these adorable little plastic children-sized rings. Best part – they were 12 for $1! I grabbed a package and brought them home, sure I could come up with something crafty. Much to my delight, they bent just enough to fit around the stem of my wine glasses! Granted, one did snap because I was not careful with it, but 11 wine charms for $1 is not bad. Little snowmen, stockings and holly are just what I need to get me through the next week and a half before I can go all out. Would you like to receive sweet wine glass charms as a host/hostess gift? Hurrah for the season of giving!!
PS – Tonight I picked up a bottle of sweet syrah called Jam Jar, I can’t WAIT to try it out and hope it is as darling as the bottle!
As the days grow shorter and the nights grow colder I find myself spending more time snuggled up inside my craft room (PS – LOVE having a craft room in the new house, so much more useful than an office in my opinion). Along with scrapbooking, I love coming up with creative decorations and homemade gift items. I thought I’d share a couple of project ideas that you can do at home to get ready for the holidays!
Add some shades of fall to your living room! Works with fresh or silk flowers and can easily be changed out with the seasons.
