While helping my mom put up her Christmas decorations a month or so ago, I came across these vintage Santa napkin holders that we used to use as kids.

A Handmade Christmas: Reusable Christmas Bags
This post was originally done for Riley Blake's Design Team Wednesday, but you still have time to make some if you need to....

Holiday Photobooth Props (Printable Patterns)
Remember when the photo booth prop rage was going on? And everyone was putting mustache's and funny glasses on sticks? Well, in the middle of all that I kept thinking it would be cute to do some seasonal photo props on a stick to play with at family gatherings. When Halloween came around I started some really fun ones but then I never finished them...or photographed them...BUT the other day I had all the kids home with the flu and for fun (and to break up the boredom) we made some ...
