Just Add Stickers

Last year we had a last minute New Year's Eve party. I was inspired by a charcuterie counter setup I saw on Instagram. I covered my table and counter with brown paper. On the counter I wrote our menu for the night with arrows to where the dishes were to be placed. On the table I drew a clock with the hands pointing to just before midnight and 'Happy New Year.' I places markers and crayons.on the table amd told the kids to draw their favorite memories from the year. What we ended up with was cute scenes of going to the beach and Christmas fun. It was a lot of fun to see what the kids came up with. Happy New Year and Happy Crafting!

I always struggle to find the perfect secret Santa gift, especially for co-workers. This year I took some inspiration from Instagram, I'm not sure who did it first or even where hot the idea from but I saw someone fold a dish towel into a pocket and I thought that would be a cute gift for my co-worker who likes to bake.  I found a few tutorials on youtube on how to fold dishcloths into pockets, it's pretty simple. I added cookie mix and festive spatulas to mine. Looking around for cookie cutters to add to the gift I found cookie cutter lights for 60% off at Michael's. They are battery operated and can be set on a timer. I think they would look very cute in a kitchen window ledge or on a little tree in the kitchen.  With everything included I came in just under the 20$ budget at 17.50. I am really looking forward to gifting this Secret Santa gift!  Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!
