TO-DO this week! DIY!

do-it-yourself is the new black. in my world.

i have been on a DIY/creative spree and i can't help myself with these two next projects!
once again, inspired by etsy (here and here), michelle and i can hardly contain ourselves! like two extremely crafty kids in a candy store.

This is the most perfect (and also re-usuable) advent calendar i have ever seen!



isn't it precious?



don't you want to make one yourself?


if your jewish, doesn't it make you want to celebrate christmas? or just make a Hanukkah one...


...and next...this is a cute little countdown too...not quite sure if i'm going to take on two big projects in one day though...

Just got the cutest idea for our anniversary gift! I have been dating Tom for a year now - so exciting!

with my recent crafty activities, i have decided to make something inspired by this:


is it not precious!?



However, I'll be using cards he has given me, tickets of sports game we've been to, Harry Potter reference of sorts (first "date", we're so cool), and various other little trinkets in picture form that remind me of us! and i plan on doing 12, representing the 12 months we've been together. and behind it all as the background will be the note i wrote to my amazing friend Meesh (check out her blog!) about how it all got started between the two of us...

crafty, eh?
