Hello everyone! This December every Thursday & Tuesday I’ll be doing a new series called Handmade Holiday… I think it’s pretty self explanatory! I’ll be posting 12 days worth of DIYs for easy gift ideas, decorations, wrapping, holiday themed food & drinks galore! I’m super excited about it and have been working like a mad woman on this project!

Our first DIY is going to be this super simple fortune cookie advent calendar! It’s really easy, and cost efficient to make. Here are the supplies you’ll need:

♥ Felt, Thread, Needle, Glue, Pipe-cleaners

♥ Cut a circle out of the felt the size of your choice. Be careful to not make it too small!! You want to be able to fit some small goodies inside.

♥ Glue the pipe-cleaner in  the center. When dry, fold the circle in half and pinch the folded edge together to create a fortune cookie shape.

♥ Stuff the cookie with candy, small toys, a fortune, quotes, etc.

♥ Using bright coloured thread, stitch the edges close.

♥ To create the numbers, I cut them out in different coloured felt and glued them on for the date each cookie was to be opened.

♥ Feel free to have your cookies range in size. Store them in a large bowl, or for fun you could get those “take out” boxes and sort them by weeks. Michael’s craft store sells christmas themed ones :)

Hello dears!

I’m so sorry for being so absent this month!! It has been a very busy month for me with work (I work in fashion retail… tis the season!) It’s only about to get worse too! Big things are coming to Miss Kait Online for December, which I have been working on like a mad woman!

In the mean time, to keep you busy here are some things that just make my heart go pitter-patter this month! Also I still have a few spots left for December Sponsors!

Well, it’s been a while since I have done one of these posts, hasn’t it?!

October was filled of….

♥ Pumpkin patching, pumpkin nails, and pumpkin pie!!
♥ Sushi dates with the coworkers
♥ Sewing… lots and lots of sewing for Halloween!!!
♥ And of course playing dress up! I was Nyan Cat & Queen of Hearts this year :)
♥ Apple cider!
♥ We had our Holiday Season Start meeting at work.. there were costume/best outfit prizes. I went as a present, and took home a Starbucks gift card!

:) and here’s a better look at my Nyan Cat costume!

Just for fun, here is some of my co-workers and I in our costumes at our meeting. I’m so lucky to work with such a lovely group of people! (And yes, the three of us in red are all wearing the same dress ;D )

I bet you never thought you’d see Halloween and Christmas in the same post ;)
