DIY Ideas For Christmas

(source)

Since I'm a student who barely scrapes by, I think I'm taking the DIY route when it comes to gifts this Christmas. Thanks to my best friend Pinterest, I already have some ideas on what I'm going to do. But this handmade mugs are cute! I know mugs are cliche gifts but I love doodling and I think I can do this. Besides, mugs aren't just for drinking, they can be pen holders, too.

If doodling on mugs isn't for you, below are other great ideas:

• DIY headband
• Nautical bracelet
• Leather makeup brush holder
• Braided bracelet using shoelaces
• Fortune eggs
• Chain Hair Tie Bracelet

Good luck!

Vintage Book Covers

I spend countless hours just looking at vintage book covers. They are beautiful and would be lovely on my shelf, but they're often expensive. That's I take a trip to thrift stores a lot more than necessary just to get my hands on old books.

Below are some of my favorite book covers. I can't pick just one!

With Brave Wings She Flies

Wouldn't it be nice to have these words said about you?

I'm far from being courageous, from being fearless.

But someday, I promise you someday.
