Plaid Christmas Style
Tartan plaid is always an excellent choice for holiday events. This year that’s especially true because plaid is very on trend at the moment.

Plaid Christmas Clipart
How do you feel about the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend? I love the traditional plaid look. Even though it isn’t how I personally decorate my home (I go for the bright, whimsical feel) I definitely still enjoy all of the vibes that come with this particular trend. I created a new clipart set that includes the plaid, bows, and bears that are really popular at the moment – with my own cute simple vibe. You can grab yours here and start using them on all of your Christmas creations!

Black Friday Traditions
Black Friday Has always been one of my absolute favorite unofficial holidays. I love the transition from Thanksgiving to the Christmas season. My traditions have changed over the years – they used to involve some very early morning shopping in the freezing cold, then Black Friday became my official decorating day, now it requires being as lazy as possible. My current tradition just may be my favorite, for now at least. We sleep in and stay in our Christmas pajamas all day. That’s it – just enjoying the beginning of Christmas time by watching all the movies and laying around doing Christmas crafts while drinking hot chocolate. I’m sure that…

Homemade Gifts I’m Giving This Year
I’ve always loved to give homemade gifts. Over the years I’ve definitely identified which are hits and which are misses. Here are a few that I’m looking forward to giving this year. Cross Stitch Ornaments – I’ve really gotten into cross stitch over the last few years. It’s easily portable and I can work on small projects that are finished fairly quickly, which keeps my attention span. Simmer Pots – I like to think of these packets as an alternative to candles. They make the entire house smell amazing, and they feel really traditional which works well with current trends. Sick Day Tea – Have you heard of medicine ball…

Student Gift Ideas
Do you give your students holiday gifts? I’ve gone back and forth over the years, and truly it depends on the group. Some classes work their way into my heart and I want to give them gifts, other groups need a little something special from me because I know that they may not have the greatest holiday season otherwise. On the other hands, I know that some groups won’t appreciate anything that I give them and it’ll end up in the trash. It is what it is. If you’re looking for some proven student gift ideas that are always a hit, here are my top picks. All links are affiliates.…
