The temperature has dropped and it is getting cold, which means that Christmas is right around the corner! With all of the cold weather, the kiddos have been stuck inside so why not pull out the glitter and start making some new ornaments for the tree? I love glitter, but the Hubby is totally anti-glitter, so these make both of us happy. I get my glitter fix, and hubby isn’t finding glitter all over the house.

I love the glitter ornaments that I see all over Pinterest right now, but I wanted something more. So with a few colors of glitter and some helpful kiddos, we came up with some super cute DIY Glitter Galaxy Christmas Ornaments!

321 Mug Cake! DIY Gift!

Nothing like putting gifts for friends and neighbors off to the last minute. My mom asked me the other day what she could make for some nurses that take care of a family member, it had to be easy, and cost effective. 321 Mug Cake makes the perfect DIY gift because it meets both of her requirements.

All you need is Angel Food Cake mix, your favorite flavor of another box cake mix, and some containers to package them! I even made some cute printables to add to the gift so that friends and family know exactly how to make this yummy treat! You can add some extras like chocolate chips, or crushed candy canes to give it something extra!
