Another one of my favorite Christmas traditions in my family is making a new ornament to add to the tree each year. But after awhile, everyone starts to run out of ideas and I end up on Google searching for some new DIY projects. So I've rounded up the best that I have found and made right here. As always, I would love feedback from anyone who tries out any of these projects!

The Holiday Helper Facebook page has officially launched! "Like" the page to keep up to date on new posts, special holiday deals, and much more! I have some really exciting stuff planned as Christmas draws near, so don't miss out! Here is the link to the page: https://www.facebook.com/TheHolidayHelper

I just wanted to start this post by letting all of you know how grateful I am for all of my loyal visitors who give me such awesome feedback. It's crazy to think I started the Holiday Helper about a month ago now, and I've already had over 130,000 friends stop by! But anyways, on to the good stuff. Due to the popularity of my Free Christmas Card Printables post, I have gotten a ton of requests to do a follow-up with free holiday gift tag printables. So here they are, enjoy!

P.S.- Make sure you download the tags from the pages I link to, not directly from here. These images are a shrunken-down size and would print out in terrible quality.

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great November so far! I promise a new post will be up within the next couple of days. To tide you over until then, I have brought some musical cheer to the Holiday Helper's page! If haven't noticed, at the top of the right hand column there is now a Spotify box with a "Play" button on it. When you press that, whatever song I have cued up at the time (right now it's Holly Jolly Christmas) will play while you browse the page! I just found out you could do this and I thought it was a pretty fun idea, so I would love some feedback to let me know if it's working properly and you all like having it there. I am not sure if you need Spotify installed to use it, since I have Spotify it definitely works fine for me. But Spotify is free and really awesome so I would recommend it anyways. I plan to change the song every few days, so check back often for new Christmas tunes!
