Have you finished your shopping, or barely started?
You can make your own gift tags with PicMonkey in a variety of fonts and colors
Print them out on card stock
A hole punch and a piece of ribbon or twine is all you need
Use a cookie cutter to make different shaped tags
Attach your tag with ribbon and a holiday ornament for a festive touch, and a piece of burlap makes a quick bottle wrap
Or paint simple angels on plain tags from the craft store for Angel Tags
You can use tags to personalize place settings too
Glue 3 candy canes together to make a Candy Cane Easel to hold a place card
These are purchased gift tags personalized with paint pen markers
Great for labeling things on a buffet or juices on a Merry Mimosa Bar
You’re going to need some effortless appetizers
Rotel Pies go together in minutes, all the flavors of a zesty cheese dip in a handy bite sized package
A Snow Pea Tree makes a beautiful presentation
As does this Prosciutto & Pesto Puff Pastry Tree
Brown Sugar Bacon Bundles are always a hit
Raspberry White Chocolate Roll-ups are easy enough for little helpers to make
Italian Cream Tarts are like little bites of cannoli
Almond Spirals are one of my favorite Crescent Roll Creations, and are great for any occasion
Make a show stopping decoration by filling a bottle with lights and topping it with sparkling ornaments
We have fun every year with this Advent Calendar Tree
Clothespins glued to a large tree painted on a piece of particle board hold bags for a daily December surprise, treat, or activity
Have you ever painted ornaments?
These were inspired by knock off Vietri Santa plates, you can see the easy tutorial here
Scrap wood is great for holiday signs
I love it when Thanksgiving falls early, do you feel like you have extra time this year?

Fun ideas! I love the candy cane easels. It’s like we have an extra week to enjoy the twinkle and lights-enjoy:@)
A joyful post, Let the holidays begin.
I love your round up and inspirational post Jenna! It’s always good by me when Thanksgiving falls a week early, it does next year too! I hope you’re able to enjoy a little R&R from your Thanksgiving feast and activities.
P.S. I’m sending condolences for the Iron Bowl!
Great ideas! I love early Thanksgiving too — a bit more time to be creative and I may well have to try it with a few of these great ideas!
Great news! I found a silicone mini-muffin pan so now I can make potato crowns again. They are SO good but I had sticking issues. Cannot wait!

Great ideas, Jenna! I need to pin this one to more than one Pinterest board. As far as the early TGVG goes, though, I feel a tad anxious that I should be finished with all my holiday decorating. Then I stop and realize it’s just the 27th! Good grief!
Oh fun, fun, fun Jenna!! Thank you for all your recipes and crafty ideas. I think my son and I could teach the kids how to make those Santa ornaments! You’re the best!
So many great ideas here! I especially like the candy cane easels. 🙂
What a lovely roundup of some your amazing recipes and crafts. Everything looks beautiful and/or yummy. I’m totally sharing this list!
You left no stone unturned here and I love it. I’d belly up to that Mimosa bar and be happy for a very long time! Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story and we hope you will join us again next week.
