O N E – Seasonal Book Crate
With two small kids, we have
collected a lot of books throughout the years.
Some of our favorites to purchase are books for the different
holidays. Because we have so many, it’s
easy for them to get lost in the shuffle, so a couple of years ago I made our
seasonal book crate to keep them all in one place.
The crate stays in one spot
in our living room right by the fireplace and I switch out the books for each
season – books about love during February, Easter books in March and April, Halloween
books in September and October, Thanksgiving books in November, Christmas books
in December, and so on. I also throw the
kids’ birthday books in there during their birthday months.
This allows all of our themed
books to be at our fingertips at the appropriate times and it also encourages
the kids to read more often. I know our
time is numbered with this as they are getting older, but this sweet little
crate will remain there until they’ve completely outgrown it! To see more details, click here to see my
original post and to see how I dress it up for each of the holidays.
T W O – DIY Wine Cork
Two years ago, our wine cork
collection was overflowing so I decided to try my hand at a DIY ornament. It was so easy to make, it turned out even
better than I expected, and it was so much fun to do! You can see the original post and tutorial
here.
T H R E E – DIY Christmas Card Holder
I have always struggled to
find an ideal way to display our Christmas cards, so last year I set out to
make something of my own. This Christmas
card holder that I made turned out to be exactly what I needed. It holds a ton of cards and it’s super
cute. Win win! You can see the original post and tutorial
here.
If you’re feeling crafty,
dig right in! Only a couple more months
until Christmas!

ReplyDeleteDo you ever see something and think "Duh! That is so easy! Why haven't I been doing that?!" Because these are my exact thoughts after seeing your seasonal book crate!! Love love love this. The idea of setting this aside throughout a season and reading those more often is fabulous. I am putting this on my to-do this for tomorrow. Thank you my friend!
ReplyDeleteI make so many wine cork crafts because of my wine habit! I love he ornament. I found a place here that takes gently used corks but I'll have to set some aside. I love the Christmas card holder!
