Easy Personalized Holiday Cards

Who is sending holiday cards this year?  It's a tradition I have loved ever since I got married and if you share that tradition then let's make personalized holiday cards today!

TIP #1: Start now and you'll have more time for gift making later!

I'm working with Minted to create this year's holiday card.  Minted is a design marketplace of independent artists from around the globe and they offer a bazillion design options!  It feels great knowing I'm supporting the independent artist community.

Let's start:

Step One: Sign in to minted.com to create an account.  You'll want an account to save all your options and keep your uploaded photos for easy access.  Once signed in then select the category for your card  - I've selected Holiday: Christmas Cards.

P is for Personalized Pillows

How to make simple personalized pillows.  A sewing project that makes a great gift and pretty decor too!

In case you're wondering I made these pillows for my friend Jen at The House of Wood as a thank you gift.  She has two little ones so I made one pillow for her daughter and one for her son.

Unknowingly her daughter's pillow fits right in on her cuter than cute diy toddler bed, look below!

Since my little lady doesn't have a nightstand and I have yet to build her one (it's on the list!), I whipped up this adorable shelf out of scrap wood to house (hehe - get it?) a few of her favorite bedtime books. Tutorial coming soon. I built her toddler bed (free plans available on the blog!) and I make and sell those wood name signs in my Etsy shop. Did you spy her pretty personalized pom-pom pillow? That was lovingly handmade by Jaime from @thatsmyletter. ??
