DIY - Instagram Magnets

I am pretty sure at this point everyone has heard of Instagram, this is such a great application to play with and update daily.  This website StickyGram turns your fun photos into fun magnets that you can give family and friends as a gift.  Not only is it a great idea but also very affordable and an easy way to make gift giving a fun way to personalize it. 

DIY - Ornaments

Making your own ornaments and give them as gifts is a fun and personal way to make gift giving easier on the pockets.  My mother started a tradition with us since out very first Christmas... she would give us a new ornament every year since the year we were born.  She said that this is for when we grow up and move out we will have our own set of ornaments for our tree.  Cute right?  Well with this tradition she has created for our family, I intend to do the same thing with my children (when the time comes but not really in a rush).  I have however done this for friends and family and they loved getting a personalized ornament that they could hang on their tree for years to come.  Here are some fun DIY ornament ideas.
