Still on Christmas Break...DIY overload

Well, here it is January 16th and I am finally getting around to posting all my DIY Christmas gifts!  I had a blast making all of them and adding personal touches (even at 1 in the morning!) but I have been on overload since then and taken a big break from crafting and obviously blogging.  It's very hard for me to sit and do nothing (just ask my husband) but I have been filling my time with my new iPad.  Sometimes looking up new crafting ideas is better than actually doing them!:)
Here's the gallery of Christmas presents made by yours truly:

Infinity scarves for my beautiful niece...
Above: refashioned from a thrifted polo
Left and Below: Pashmina scarf embellished with painted circles (toilet paper rolls of course) and transformed to inifinity!

Freezer paper stenciled tshirts for two cool dudes!

Dollar store composition books cute-i-fied with some iron-on fabric and ribbon!

 Wooden picture holders...two ideas combined.
2x6x12 + wood stain + paint marker + wire ornament hangers + your favorite pictures =

Inexpensive and Unique gift!

Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the subway art teacher quotes and fruits of the spirit before giving away. Hoping my m-i-l is enjoying this one!

Magnetic Scrabble Board!!!

What more can I say?  My parents loved it and I loved adding personal touches with the dictionary pages in the background.  Can't 

wait to leave messages each time we visit!

Last but not lease I can't take full credit for these hand painted canvases.  These gallery worthy paintings were created by 17 month old Emerson and 3 1/2 year old Will and will be showcased in Pop's office. He loved them but this is as excited as he gets!:)

I think my next post may include some more refashions I've been working on.  As always I have so many ideas in so many genres!  I had a blast gifting all these projects!  Maybe I should pick a creative mode for each month this year...painting, sewing, hot gluing, paper, felt, wood...

How can I use all those for February?  Stay tuned!

Love, Andrea
