Hey everyone! Can you believe it's the week of Thanksgiving?! This is my favorite holiday of the year...with Christmas a quick 2nd place :) We alternate years with our families so this year we get to go to my parents with my family which makes the holiday perfect to me :) I will have another last minute Thanksgiving craft for you on Wednesday!
First off, I want to remind everyone how I am picking giveaway winners from the blog now. Every Monday I will pick 2 winners from the comments that were left the week before on the blog posts. So everyday there is a post, be sure to leave a comment so you can hopefully be a winner one of these days!

I wanted to show you a great gift idea using our stack, Collage Musings. Handmade gifts are the only way to go! Gifts like this one are easy, inexpensive and right from the heart :)
I purchased a $3 frame from my local superstore. I cut down a piece of patterned paper to 5x7 and framed it IN FRONT of the glass. Then I punched our hearts with a heart punch and folded them in half. Used some strong liquid glue and put the glue only on the crease of the fold so they hearts stayed 3 dimensional. That was it!
This could easily be personalized with a name, an anniversary date or birthday. That is the great thing about handmade gifts. You can personalize anything as you create it! I hope this project gets your ideas flowing and you begin to think what you can create for people that you love this holiday season.
Have a great Monday! I will be back here on Wednesday with my last Thanksgiving project of the season. And then it's on to Christmas! Can't wait ;)
What a simple easy project! I've seen something similar, but it involved sewing, which just seemed like too much work. This is just great, and I love that stack!
