Christmas Craftiness

So each year, I spend weeks trying to decide what craft projects will be made as gifts and what will have to wait until the next holiday.  Pinterest is and always will be a perfect accompaniment for this craziness. However, Pinterest lies, I've learned.  I know there are blogs and tumblrs devoted to this fact but I usually have absolute faith in the pictures I'm seeing.  Yeah, not so much.  Below are the remnants of the easy peasy salt dough ornaments I read about here.  After seeing the messy, dried out snowheads, I baked for 4 long hours, I've decided that they had to paint theirs.  But that's not in the directions.  Needless to say, they hit the trash can quite quickly.

On the other hand, my Christmas cards which were not Pinterest finds, turned out quite cute even if I do say so myself. Gotta love that Cricut!  I really should be using that more often.  It made the whole process quite a bit simpler.

There are other Pinterest crafts in the works as well.  But they'll be shared after the holiday - Can't blab to the receivers of said gifts just yet : )
