I am deeply thankful for the gift of creativity—the ability to make, shape, and bring ideas to life with my own hands. I’m grateful for the tools that empower me to transform imagination into something tangible, and for the unwavering support of my hardworking husband, who believed in my dreams enough to surprise me with my first cutting machine and heat press two Christmases ago. His love and encouragement remind me that every spark of inspiration is worth pursuing, and together we’ve built a foundation where joy, craft, and gratitude flourish.

I’m thankful for the ability to reuse items, with which I can make something beautiful. I absolutely hate to throw away perfectly good glass jars, so, I like to save them so I can turn them into something wonderful. Hope you enjoy this holiday upcycling project!
So I made my week 2 projects got them done the. The app went crazy one me the Santa certified one said it was publish now now it’s now showing and then went to get the other project published and it has that project combined some how and the eye is no longer on it … hoping it fixes it self but here are the two merry makes projects that as soon as I can get the, properly published will be shared for this and the mystery cube.
To make my Christmas Dinner table extra special this year I’ve made these personalised placemats.
The placemats are simple shop bought felt rings and I have added the witty slogan that I found on IdeaStudio and the individual names using HTVront heat transfer vinyl.
Here’s my merry-makes Week 2 entry 1!
Theme: Christmas Tree Tumbler
IdeaStudio link: See What I've Been Creating...
Story: This Christmas tumbler feels like a tiny piece of magic in my hands.
A forest of soft green trees, each outlined in a flowing golden silhouette, like memories that shimmer when you look back at them. I added red Christmas baubles, tiny golden and brown pines, and silver–grey stars to remind me of something true:
Life is built just like a forest…
One moment, one season, one miracle at a time.
And along the way, we’re surrounded by people who light our path like little stars and guide us like gentle trees standing strong beside us.
This design is cozy, elegant, and full of heart, just like the moments we carry into the holidays.

Here’s my merry-makes Week 2 entry 2!
Theme: Christmas Pink Tree
IdeaStudio link: See What I've Been Creating...
Story: A mixed technique combo I’d been dreaming about… and I’m completely in love with the result.
I mixed sublimatable HTV, traditional sublimation, and heat-transfer vinyl to create this pink Christmas tree, cute, bright, and full of personality.
The base of the tree is made with sublimatable HTV with a soft pink background filled with tiny trendy Christmas trees and colorful little dots. Then I added the final details with heat-transfer vinyl to give it that fun, playful touch I adore.
I love how these three techniques come together to create something different, creative, and uniquely mine. It’s the kind of project that reminds me why I love crafting so much, endless possibilities, endless magic.
