DIY christmas





I love christmas shopping! I mean, I love shopping in general, but it makes me even more happy knowing that I'm going to make someone else happy so the shopping is even sweeter. My problem is that I get ahead of myself and start buying all kinds of things and I spend more than I should. I want this christmas to be a little less expensive and more thoughtful. SOOOO this year for christmas I'm going to make all my gifts. Every. single. one. I LOVE homemade gifts and thanks to pinterest, I've found so many things I'm excited to try. I'm going to post all my crafts and track my spending. I have a long list so your gift may be on here....just act surprised :)

My first purchase: Mason Jars. I found a cute jar website you can see here. I bought 25 12oz mason jars for 86 cents each, plus shipping. So each jar came to $1.41 each. My goal is to spend under $6 a person. (hopefully) I hope it was a good deal on jars! I'm sure excited to start this project: DIY snow globes!

Yay for christmas!!
