Just Add Stickers

Best laid plans, I meant to post DIY projects every week in December but life got in the way and it was a busy but fun month. I had DIY present ideas to share but I will keep them for another time.

Spritz bottles from the Dollar Store are a good addition and spare mini cauldrons from magic mixies are great for dry ingredients.  This is my list of ingredients: Step 1. Water Step 2.
