My Sneaky Santa!
I've been receiving lots of awesome gifts in the mail from my sneaky santa and I finally figured out that it was all from the lovely Stock! She sent me a huge lot (over 1 pound!) of salvaged vintage earrings, facial scrubbies from LaRue Fashions, a fabulous bracelet/cuff that she made, and a sweet note on a card by HappyHoundCreative. I thought I'd share some photos of my awesome gifts with you guys!

| Oh, the fun I will have with these babies! |

| I'm sending loads of love to Stock, the greatest, sneakiest santa ever! |
I'm officially ready to play sneaky santa again. Is it Christmas 2011 yet? :)

Handmade Gifts!
I've been trying to step out of my jewelry bubble for the past week and work on some fabric projects. I've seen several felt and fabric flower brooches and I thought they would make great gifts for my girlfriends! I've been using some beautiful fabric scraps that I purchased from Sandi at Sandi's Stash and vintage earrings that I received from my Sneaky Santa! Here are a few of the finished projects:
As I said in a previous blog post, handmade gifts are perfect to give to those who mean a lot to you. Not only do they reflect the recipient's personal style, but the fact that you spend lots of time finding fabric, meticulously cutting out circles by hand, and stitching these babies up really shows how much you care.
Are any of you giving handmade gifts this year?

P.S.
To whoever my Sneaky Santa is, thank you SO much for my gift. I have already used several pieces from it and have about 500 other ideas for it. You're the best!

| This one is for my best friend Chelsea. Her sorority colors are purple and pink! |
 |
| For my other friend Chelsea! |
 |
| I'm not sure who this one is going to yet.. possibly my best friend Bryghte! |
 |
| For me! I pinned this little guy on my favorite winter coat. |

Christmas Favorites
Or ornaments, to be exact.
 |
| My very favorite ornament. It's vintage, too! |
 |
| Peace seems to be the theme of my tree.. |
 |
| Hoot! Hoot! My mom got me this a few weeks ago at K-Mart of all places. How cute! |
 |
| A glimpse of my fab tree skirt, which is actually just a scrap of fabric! |
 |
| These remind me of huge chandelier earrings. |
 |
| I got a few of these at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. I've got some in green, too! |
 |
| I made the bottom ornament with paper scraps and Mod Podge a few weeks ago. You can't see it well, but I also made the huge bow! |
 |
| This reminds me of a candy cane with a modern twist! |
 |
| Earth! It says "Peace" on it, too! |
 |
| My cute penguin ornaments, tree skirt, and antique painted frame! |
Who's ready for Christmas? I sure am!

Sneak Team Sneaky Santa!
Ever since I was little, I have thoroughly enjoyed the holiday season. I love giving gifts, houses decorated with Christmas lights, wrapping presents, Christmas trees, wreaths, and waking up in the wee hours of Christmas morning to watch my sweet nephew see what Santa brought him. Though I am older and Christmas shouldn't be as exciting, I still have a hard time going to sleep on Christmas eve.
This Christmas, I am participating in a Sneak Team sneaky Santa and needless to say, I am very excited about it! Each sneaker has created an account with SneakySanta.com and on Tuesday we found out who we will be buying a gift for! Many of us created Etsy treasuries to share what gifts we might like to receive from our sneaky Santa. I thought I'd share mine with you guys because I think you might like some of the items for yourself!
