Today’s features are a fantastic round up of holiday goodness! I am so happy it is December! There is something about the lights and music and season that just makes everything happier! Did you know that when people were asked what one of their least favorite things about the holidays was they said, “having to be nice.” Ha! Hilarious, but I’ll take it. Go ahead and be forcefully nice to me. 😉

So here are some of my favorites. Tis the season to be jolly.

Snowball Votives from Just Another Hang Up

There are no words for how much I love these and they are sooo easy!

DIY Advent from Creative Chaos

Beautiful and made from things she could find in Namiba! Creativity at its finest!

Advent Calendar from Southern Lovely

Love that apple green! This would look lovely next to my sweater stockings!

Holiday Card Holder from Sugar Bee Crafts

Did you notice a trend in those last few? I have a slight obsession with clothespins right now.

This next one is a great gift idea! It would be fun to put the ribbon marking the nativity story in the bible! A great way to dress up the affordable paperback scriptures to make them look nice. My little guy might be getting some of these boyified of course.

Personalized Scripture Covers from G-rated

Last but certainly not least, the highest clicked post:

Bathroom Cleaning Tips from Joyful Homemaking

I mean who doesn’t want to speed up that job?!

1. Turn the sweater inside out and use the finished bottom of the sweater as the top opening of your stocking.
2. Trace the shape of an old stocking on to the sweater with a sharpie.
3. Cut out the shape and sew the edges together with a sewing machine.

I enjoy so much your $5 projects that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!

Please remember:

• Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
  
• You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
  
• No linking giveaways or items for sale
  
• Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!
