Have you had a nice week? I don't want to be braggy, but I HAVE. I've been on a stay-cation this whole week, which basically means I've caught up on everything on my to-do list, made some art, & enjoyed some serious relaxation time. It's been nice. I needed to take some time off because my PTO bank was getting out of control. We don't really travel anymore since we're seriously trying to save money, so there's been no reason to take any time off. Since the holidays are coming up & I won't be able to take time off until January, I decided to go ahead & cash in on my vacation days. Hooray for lazy productive vacation days!

I'm sad to see Halloween come & go so quickly, but now is not the time to get down. This is a serious time. The time of the year where we pull out all the stops & furiously craft until December 24th. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just like the challenge (& inevitable stress) of trying to make every gift by hand. If you're like me & enjoy losing sleep over a completely handmade holiday, here are some DIY gift ideas.
