I’ve been a busy little gnome for the holidays. It started with these fun guys I made a couple of weeks ago. I’m obsessed with these cute Scandanavian creatures and I can’t stop making them.
It’s a good thing, too, because I have a fun Last Minute Christmas Market event next weekend with my friends over at The Twisted Purl in Conway!

What I love about these chocolate and peppermint dipped spoons is that they’re semi-homemade. I picked up the milk chocolate spoons while out shopping and I already had the chocolate chips (to melt for dipping) and the peppermint crunchies waiting for a special occassion.

The milk chocolate spoons on their own are fantastic swirled into hot cocoa. The peppermint takes them over the top. And, if you can’t be over the top at Christmas time, when can you? (the answer is: ANYTIME YOU WANT!) Let’s make these Easy Chocolate Peppermint Spoons, shall we?

I don’t like to show up empty handed when I’m invited to someone’s holiday party. I know and appreciate how much work is involved with getting the house or venue ready, the decorating (if it’s a holiday party or celebration), making the food and drinks to be consumed, and the general busy-ness of readying for an event. So. Much. Work. A small gift of appreciation is thoughtful and appropriate. And, because I’m crafty, something handmade seems extra special. Even if you aren’t crafty, this project is easily put together! It’s semi-handmade, in fact!

I thought it would be cute to make these Mini Faux Letterboard Christmas Gift Tags to attach to gift bags and presents. They’re a fun and creative way to give gifts and can be used for birthday and anniversary presents, too; just switch up the paper frames in any pattern and color.

These Thanksgiving Turkey Place Cards would have come in handy. Of course, my cousins would have found a way to switch the place cards and steal the best spot right next to the turkey anyway.
