One of my various gift projects

Hello out there in blogland! Can you believe that there is just over a week until Christmas? I know. It's incredibly exciting! I'm not nearly as ready as I'd like because I have a ton of stuff going on. But I'm having fun, and I've committed to not stressing over anything.

Here is a little sneak peek at one of the gifts I've been working on. This was an easy one, it's an altered bottle of hand soap. On Black Friday I scored a great deal on Bath & Body hand soaps and sanitizers.

This particular bottle was used as part of a white elephant gift for Michael's work exchange. I removed the front B&B label and then used rub-ons to create a festive design on the front. The Holiday Happiness was stamped with Staz-On. Then I tied a pretty black ribbon and some beaded threads around it. I like how it turned out, and I love the colors.

There are other gifts in the works around here.. but I have to be careful not to give too much away because of the snoops who might see what their presents are.
