10 days until Christmas!! That's right -- tomorrow we are in the single digits until Christmas Day!!
I decided this year to MAKE some of the Christmas presents we would be giving out. We did spend a little money but we thought the personal touch of handmade presents would be special for our family. Here is ONE Sneak Peek::

Last night I worked on some coasters that I am going to include in our office gift exchange at the end of the week.
::Materials::
4 tiles (from Lowes $0.48/ea)
Mod Podge (already had)
cardstock/chip board cut out
Clear Acrylic spray
Felt feet (84 small circle self adhesive at Lowes $2.97)
::Directions::
Cut out images/designs/letters from you cardstock. I did this using my Cricut E.
Layer a coat on Mod Podge onto a tile.
Place cut out on top of Mod Podge. Cover with another layer (for good mea)sure

Once dry, spray acrylic onto the tile/cutout. You only need to wait about 10 minutes between each coat. I used 3 coats.
Let dry and attach felt feet to the bottom.
Use or gift! YAY! Easy and inexpensive =)
