In a perfect world I would have the all the time to make my own Christmas gifts. Nothing fancy but small embroidered pouches, napkins, or hoop art to show my affection.
But yes, you guessed it—I was totally unaware and December was already here (hey, where did November go?) In fact, last week when I asked what you were making, I got a message from a friend showing all the tree ornaments she'd been working on since June! My goodness! That's crafting planning!
I realized I was late and I thought, well why not make some handmade wrapping details instead? If there's one thing I enjoy and take pride in doing that's cutting paper AND I have tons of paint chips around (I've been collecting color paper and paint chips for years now for my color palette workshops).
✂️
So this week you'll find me cutting leaves and flowers for my presents (get a glimpse in my stories). What about you? Are you making any Christmas gifts, ornaments, or special projects? If you have pics, show me and send me a message! I'd love to see them.

I tell my kids that being bored is good for their brain development. They don’t believe me for a hot minute, so then I offer some cleaning chores as a boredom antidote. And miraculously the boredom vanishes!

“Crafting” plans for the wknd? How ‘bout some collaborative paint chip banners? ❤️ Link in profile for our simple DIT (Do-It-Together) instrux on how to upcycle old paint chip cards to make the coolest collage art with friends and little ones. Here at Illustoria we believe in inspiring creativity every day with the simplest of materials and slowing down to make art with loved ones big and small. Don’t ignore the “collab” part of this project—there’s nothing like a 2-min timer and the pressure to pass it along to get you to create without overthinking! You can also make these into individual bookmarks. Enjoy! .

✨How about some color therapy to soothe the soul this weekendI picked out these colors several months ago and was waiting for the perfect crystals to create this layout with and they all finally came together! If you look closely, each card has the gemstone's name on it, which one is your favorite? Comment below! Enjoy the rainbow gradient of the Earth's treasures and remember to relax and enjoy yourself this weekend because you deserve it!♥️✨
