Quick Gift Ideas & An Elf Update

This might be a bad indicator of how Christmas break is going to be when I can't even post until this late :)

Oh well.

I was too busy soaking up a day of having NOTHING school-related to think about!

And spending time with a silly four year old at his class christmas party.

So all in all...it was a nice, relaxing day :)

Tomorrow will be crazy with graduation and family parties!!

So anywho.

If you're looking for a last-minute gift idea I've got one for you.

I needed a cheap & easy gift for little man's teacher so I did a variation of my quote blocks that I'm loving right now.

I already did a quick version for my OT clinical instructors but they're so easy to personalize for everyone.

Here's my teacher version:

I did her monogrom on the front.

Easy enough :)

On the back, I added a sweet quote I found on Pinterest.

I have way too much fun making these.

Here's a sneak peek of just a portion of some of them....

I can't show the personalized sides because they're gifts for some who read...so you'll have to be patient :)

But aren't those patterns so pretty??

I love adding the fabic and ribbon on top.

I also whipped up a quick gift for my friend who had 'craft day' with me this week during finals.

We whipped up a ton of homemade gifts and got a lot done so of course I had to make her something fun.

And luckily, I had just recently taken her family pictures so I had those to work with.

This is what I came up with:

I printed the pictures out in 4x6's in a vintage coloring.

Then I got the lovely cabinet door from my stash.

I'm in love with the shape of the middle so I added the row of pictures along the top and then used a strip of ric-rac to seperate the pictures from the vinyl name.

I absolutely love using pictures to make things so I was happy that I had those pictures handy :)

On another un-related note,

here's where Jingle Bells, our elf, spend the night:

Little man thought it was hilarious and knew right away that it was his 'north pole' hideaway.

I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend and enjoy time with family and friends and last-minute shopping!
Keep your fingers crossed that I don't trip on stage tomorrow :)
