I’m going to miss this series
Many good ones: Love the gift box and the small gift drawstring bag. I am intrigued by the spring-form bucket, will check that one out too. The gift tags are adorable, both the printable and the muslin bag ones.
These are great – especially love the hostess gift box – think I’ll make one for our secret santa gifts…
great set of tutorials, i’ve actually made a couple of the “hostess boxes” and they are a quick and easy and stylish project
Such cute ideas as always. I need to get started!!!
The gift card snow globe sounds like an interesting (but messy) idea. Too bad the link doesn’t work right now!
I have just loved this series this year, and I am sorry to see it come to an end! Thank you for compiling all the terrific ideas and projects–some of them are in my holiday queue to use. I had a great time looking forward to this every day!
Krista

Oh, those tea towel calendars are beautiful!
I got stuck on the snowglobe link that was down and went straight on to the collapsible spring buckets and then had to visit Spoonflower – which I am afraid of – for good reason. If I go there too often, I will be sucked in – so tempting.
SewMamaSew has outdone themselves again in putting this directory together. Thank you for all of your hard work coordinating these ideas. I have made at least ten this month and couldn’t be happier to have this outstanding resource at my fingertips!
Wow! What a fabulous collection of tutorials! Thank you so much!

Cute stuff! The chai mix looks yummy!
That little gift pouch is super sweet and I love the Tea Towel, Spoonflower is an amazing creative genius…I lust after many of their designers fabrics, must try my hand at designing some day soon.
The fabric gift pouch is adorable! And I love the Oliver +S book, checked it out from the library and was so sad to have to give it back!
This series has been fab. Thanks so much for putting it together. And, gosh, how I love that Oliver & S book!
