The Twelve Days Of Christmas Crafting: Day 5, Tinsel Stars.

 Yesterday, I Kind of took the day off of Blogging and deep cleaned my kitchen so I could decorate for Christmas. What was suppose to take about an hour or two ended up taking about four hours because I had to redo some of the light that had gone out on my Kitchen tree. (Boo) That was almost how every tree was this year One strand of lights out, 8 stands on the tree, now you have to find the broken lights, then replace them  , Not fun if your all finished decorating.
Today I spent the day with my daughter Filming some more Craft Tutorials, and coming up with new Christmas crafts ideas. I love our Thursdays together, they are so very Special.
This Star Tinsel tutorial is so easy to make. They could be an ornament or a wall hanging or tag on a gift. endless possibilities. I just love endless possibilities.

The 12 Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 4, Felt, Holly Garland

 We are on Day 4 of The 12 Days of Christmas Crafting

Today we make Felt Holly Garland.

Today's DIY is a cute little Holly Garland that was created because I needed a new Garland for my mantel, and I wanted it to be light and airy. This was a Simple, inexpensive and quick DIY, and everyone knows I love quick and easy. I wanted to do crafts that take up as little time as possible  and give you lots of bang for your buck.  

Are you Struggling with a Garland this season?, 

Make your very own.

I also made a Video, Link at the end.

The 12 Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 3, Cinnamon, Macrame, Christmas Wall Hanging.

 On the  Third day We make A Cinnamon Christmas Macrame Wall Hanging.

There are so many beautiful Macrame wall hangings out there.  I thought I would put a little Christmas spin on the one we did. It only took me an my daughter an hour to make the basic macrame and about 10 min to add the Christmas charm. My Daughter and I had such a wonderful time crafting creating together. Such great memories to have for a lifetime.

Spooky, Halloween Fat Bombs

I have been experimenting lately with several different recipes for Fat Bombs. Yummy, low carb treats that are packed full of healthy oils and I even snuck in some flax seed in this one.
I am always looking for that  little treat that do not make me feel bad physically ( like sugar) or guilty after I eat it.

These little cuties taste good and are great for you packed full of the healthy oils that we need and a dose of flax seed which has all kinds of health benefits, from lowering cholesterol to fighting cancer cells, to helping with Hot flashes. WIN-WIN.

Need the Recipe?
Well here it is.
Oh and I did a Video for them too.
