Hand-made Christmas gifts

WOW I can't believe it is almost Christmas, where has December gone??? I know I have been MIA lately between my birthday, my son's birthday, Polar Express, and Disneyland trip it has been crazy!!!

I wanted to share some fun hand-made Christmas gifts that I have made this year!



I made a bunch of different Christmas word blocks, these are so fun and easy to make.

I also made a few fun custom frames they are also super easy to make and are super cute!!

I love hand-made gifts they mean so much more then just a store bought gift, so I always try and do some kind of fun hand-made gift for my family!!

Happy Holidays!!
