My girls are obsessed with Starbucks, to the point that wherever we are in the world, they will squeal with delight when they see that sign. If I need to bribe or reward them, I offer up going to Starbucks. At least one of them always orders a mocha frappuccino. I know that many of you will point out that going to a local coffee shop should take priority, but Starbucks is synonymous with comfort for us--we've moved so much and my kids have now lived in three countries. Starbucks has been ... Read More

Yarn-Laced Snowflake Ornament
Sometimes the simplest ornaments look the best on the tree. I love this Yarn-Laced Snowflake Ornament because the Cricut Maker does most of the work and my kids can help put it together. The most difficult part of making the ornament is choosing which colour sparkly yarn to use (and it has to be sparkly!)! This post contains affiliate links.

Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament

It even sways gently, so the candle does the felt equivalent of flickering. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
Faux Leather Firefly Ornament
I love ornaments and I love exchanges, so with my recent love of making ornaments with my Cricut Maker, it made complete sense to have a Cricut Ornament Exchange. A group of Cricut bloggers got together to swap ornaments made with Cricut machines with the added fun of not knowing who was sending us an ornament until it arrived. It was up to us to do some basic blog stalking, and I quickly discovered that my person was a fellow Browncoat. I was initially going to make a full on Christmas ... Read More
Christmas Window Felt Ornaments
I love a Christmas wreath on a snowy window. I don't know that I've ever had one in real life, but it's a constant on my holiday decor wish list. I don't have any chance at one this year, so I did the next best thing and stitched up a couple of Christmas Window Felt Ornaments for my tree. I'm in love with my newest ornaments!
