Can you believe that Christmas is only 10 days away?! How is everyone feeling about the Holiday season?
While I have all of my gift shopping done and the house is decorated for Christmas, I haven’t had much time to do any festive activities. This year it feels like the holidays are just flying by!
If you ask me, I haven’t watched nearly enough Hallmark Christmas movies (they’re so tacky and I love it!), baked enough cookies, or visited enough holiday markets.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m one of those crazy people that picks a different “theme” every year during the holiday season – for everything from my decor, right down to our Christmas wrapping paper. Maybe it’s the designer/branding specialist in me, but I just love when there is one cohesive theme for everything. (Yeah, I know, I’m a little extra).
Sometimes it can be really hard to find certain things that match your whole theme. Last year I chatted a little bit about this when I shared my DIY gift tags. I will never go back to just using store-bought tags! This year, I thought I would take a stab at making my own holiday crackers with my Cricut Maker out of some of the wrapping paper I’m using this year so they can match everything too and I thought I would share it with you. ‘Tis the season for holiday DIYs after all!
Another great thing about making your own holiday crackers is getting to choose what you put inside of it. You can write your own jokes, put in tea, candy, lip chap, little accessories, literally anything you can think of! Overall, I think they turned out pretty good.
Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? I just finished shopping myself – and I’m someone who usually is done by November.
If you’re anything like a couple of my family members, (I’m not going to call anyone out by name, you know who you are) you still have lots to do, are starting to feel the pressure and are dreading the crowds.
Thankfully, places like Amazon exist to make your holiday shopping a little easier – even if you’ve left it to the last minute!
One of my favourite things to do around the holiday season is to make cookies! While my parents are partial to my peppermint chocolate chip cookies, my absolute favourite Christmas cookies has always been cut-out cookies.
