Craft-a-thon with my niece

Hello! Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Before we get too far into the new year, I wanted to share with you my craft-a-thon week I had with my niece. Every year my niece and nephew come spend time with us during the Christmas season and we do things like bake cookies, make gingerbread houses, craft, watch movies, and drive around drinking cocoa and looking at lights. This year, my niece stayed a whole week with us, and we did some serious crafting. :) Here she is in my studio. She stayed in her jammies and wore a Christmas hat most of the time. 

We made more wine glass snow globes. I think I liked hers best of all. If you can't tell, there's a little mouse and bunny kissing inside her globe. 

We also made this one as a gift for my Mom's birthday. Isn't it sweet? Desi and I did a holiday swap with my sweet friend Lilia and her daughter which was lots of fun! (My niece's first swap!) The girls swapped handmade ornaments and little trinkets for each other, and Lilia and I swapped ornaments and art supply goodies. 

A few more shots of our creations and fun. That bottom photo is the silly amount of marshmallows we like to put in our hot cocoa. I can spoil her that way, because I'm just the aunt. 

I cherish these times with her and hope that she always will also.

PS, As a few of you have already figured out, I extended the free shipping sale on qualifying orders through the weekend. It will end on Monday at midnight. I'll announce the winner of the giveaway then too, so don't forget to enter if you haven't done so yet. I love reading about your favorite Christmas gifts.
