Christmas is a comin'

Instead of doing homework, I've been working on Christmas crafts. My table has looked like this for too long-I can't focus on just one thing, so I've had several things going on, as you can see in the mess that's covering my table. The advent calendar is still a work in progress, but it's going to be so cute when it's done. This is just a sneak peak :)
And my favorite project is these tiles-Sorry to those of you who will be getting these as Christmas gifts. . . try to act surprised. They are magnets made from little tiles. I stamped them and baked them in the oven and just need to add the magnet part to the back. To my crafty friends (Jacki and Millie especially)- do you think I should add a couple buttons and some ribbon or keep them simple?

Gosh Carly (little miss creative!)
Jeez, wish I was that crafty. I have to be in the mood, and lately I have not been..blah!

Those are darling! I think that some cute ribbon would look super cute. Not so sure about the buttons though.

That was always my problem with school, too...there's too many fun things to do instead of homework!!!

I LOVE how your advent has turned out! It's been too long since our last Saturday Scrapbooking.

Your tiles are super adorable! I love how simple they are, so I think you could leave them just how they are, but I also think it would be cute to do some ribbon. If you do just ribbon, use thicker ribbon. If you want to do a button, I'd use real skinny ribbon , almost thread-like, and tie the button on with a knot.

Super cute!!!
