Giving multiple gifts to the same person? Use lettered gift tags to spell out their name!

I even put "1" "2" and "3" on the back of the letters to make sure Mom knows what order to open them in!

I got a new Cricut cartridge and I am totally obsessed with it; it makes the most adorable little boxes that I can't get enough of. I've told my family and friends to expect anything they ever get from now on to come in a box! Since the cartridge is specifically for boxes for baked goods, they are a little small but come with cupcake holders for your muffins, cupcakes, and in the case of my Sweet Treat boxes, they hold brownie cupcakes with an Oreo hidden inside! mmmMMmmm!

My Creation Station

I just moved my bed out of this room and the furniture in from my second bedroom about a week ago so I could have a designated area for crafting; My coffee table, dining room table, and desk weren't sufficing or functional so I made this über functional creation station! Full steam ahead to imagination land wooo wooo! Ok I'm done, I know, that was intense.

OoOoO Lights!!

Obviously since I'm obsessed with bright shiny things, one of my weaknesses are Christmas lights. Since I'm obsessed, I want them around 365 24/7 and all over the place. Currently I have pink lights draping my primping mirror behind my vanity and strung along my dresser (photos to come when I clean them off!). I came across something on Pinterest using mirrored garland and white mini lights that I just had to have ( Pinterest mirrored garland ). While at my Mecca that is Michaels I found a garland made up of pearls and rhinestones. That's right, pearls AND rhinestones, only the most perfect match since Britney and Justin.. oh wait.. Ok so more perfect than they were. Using a medium diameter wooden rod (spray painted gold) and 2 screw-in wall hooks (I'm sure they have a real name, I just don't know it) I created this fabulousness with the garland and white icicle lights. Now I just have a hard time not staring at the beautifulness that hangs above my bed. I'm in love.
