gifts with heart

I love putting my time into gifts. I think anything that is home-made is something that is truly from the heart. I love baking treats from scratch, pasting together a birthday card, or painting a picture. Putting my time and passion into something nifty to pass onto someone is the best feeling. Maybe simply giving is the best feeling.

It's a good thing I love arts and crafts. The smell of Jo-Ann's really gets me smiling and my creative gears moving. With so many holidays coming up, it's the perfect time to get messy with glue, glitter, and paper.

When I saw this DIY post for holiday ornaments on Free People's blog I knew exactly what I was going to use to add a little somethin' somethin' to my wrapped gifts. All I need are some clear Christmas bulbs, little trinkets and treasures, and some imagination.

Take a look at these adorable photos...

Now that I have the decor for my gifts to be adorned with, I need to figure out what goes inside the boxes and bags. That's the hardest part!
