A Late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hello internet! So I've been super lazy and busy and my internet hasn't been wanting to work. So that's why I haven't posted anything. I did finish all of my Christmas DIY presents and everyone loved them. I had a great Christmas and New Year with my friends and family. I did have to work on Christmas day but I actually really enjoyed it for some reason.  So since I last updated a lot happened....I finished all of my moms stocking stuffers for Christmas. I made some great orange sugar scrub that she loves. It was super simple to make. Recipe from thesweetestoccasion.com. They made lemon but I decided to do orange instead. Here's all of her stocking stuffers...


I was happy with how everything turned out and she seemed to like everything (:

Then my bff's had an Ugly Sweater Christmas party. Here's my getup....


My last DIY that I did was a sign that I made for my brother and his wife for Christmas that they both loved...


DIY tutorial comes from  Wendy Sheaffer Photography. It's pretty simple and uses minimal materials. I took a couple pictures of my process but didn't get the whole thing and they were taken on my phone so I'm not gonna post them. I've made another sign like this before for my bff and her husband for their wedding gift. I used one of their engagement photos that I had taken for them and personalized it. They ended up loving it and really I don't think you can go wrong with using this process for gifts. I need to make one for myself now (:

And then Christmas came and it was great. I didn't take a lot of pictures just because I wanted to enjoy the time with my family and not worry about doing anything...


I think almost everything my mom got me was owl stuff. haha...


and then here's a pic from New Years Eve with my bestie Danielle. Didn't do anything too crazy for New Years. Just hung out with some friends.


That's it for today. Not sure how much I'll be posting from now on. Hopefully I will every week but we shall see. Have a good evening internet!
