It’s that time of year, loves. The holidays are approaching, which means the stress over what to buy for my loved ones is looming over me. Every year in the month or so leading up to Christmas, I get way stressed out and my anxiety takes over. I’m such a people pleaser, so I overthink gift-giving a lot. I shall attempt to make it easier on myself this year. First, the husband and I have talked this week about it, and we’ve made a decision to have a set Christmas budget that we absolutely cannot exceed. That alone should hopefully take away some of the stress because we’ll have to plan ahead. Secondly, I have decided that I will attempt to make the majority of the gifts as well, which I think will make our money stretch further. I feel so crafty, yet I almost never follow through on my projects. That’s about to change…I am fully committing this time, I swear (Ha, like I haven’t said that before.) I’ve been scouring Pinterest for fun ideas for homemade Christmas gifts and have found so many easy ones and a few challenging ones to try.
So, here’s the plan, guys: I’m going to buy
supplies as soon as possible, and attempt to make some fancy DIY gifts. I will
post the original tutorial/idea here, as well as my finished product. I’m going
to try to get Chris involved in some of the projects too since he got really
into it while crafting for our wedding. I hope some of you will present people
with some crafty gifts this year as well. I truly believe that it will be more
meaningful for everyone than a store-bought gift.
Wish me
luck!!! = ]
