12 Days of Christmas Crafts - December 4

Today, we have house gift boxes. It's my own template that I put together. They are very fun to make. I decorated them with a wreath (make from various paper punches).

I made some barrettes for Sydney and her friends. Here's the box with the goodies inside. I need to add some filing.

Here's the barrettes. Very easy to make. I machine sew a border around the white felt. Then to add the decoration you can glue or hand sew. I've done both. The glue is faster. I've seen them done here or you can just buy some super cute ones them here.

I need to get out my Christmas decorations and remove the pumpkins from my front porch.

Sydney looks adorable, as always.

The pumpkin cheesecake recipe came from Paula Deen. I love Food Network, and most of my recipes come from Paula, Alton Brown, and Giada di Laurentis.

Too cute. I'm surprised you didn't spread those crafts out to be TWO seperate posts... I mean 12 days of crafting is kinda a lot. Love the clips. And the houses are extra cute. You should send it in to a magazine! ~jen~
