We did manage to sneak in some crafting time last week, in between homework and a big school project. We started with these cute fabric owl ornaments.

We always spend a lot of time cutting out paper snowflakes this time of year, to make up for the lack of real snowflakes down here in the South. I found a great tutorial on these 3D snowflakes which are too cute and don't leave behind the scrappy mess that typical snowflakes do.

We are just practicing and getting warmed up for some more crafts in the coming weeks. Last year I was knee deep in creating linen and burlap ornaments {here}.

Pinterest has been a great 'DIY' source for me so far this year. Below are a few things I'm hoping to try in the coming weeks:
