Good morning SCT friends! Thank you for joining us today for DAY 12 of our 8th annual "12 days of holiday giving!" How fast have these 12 days gone? We have loved seeing you here each day and not only have we loved seeing all your comments but we have loved seeing all the comments you've left for our generous partners too! We've hope you've enjoyed all the wonderful holiday projects our team has shared and gathered a few ideas along the way. Today we are wrapping it up with an ultra cute DIY project from Jennifer McGuire and more amazing prizes!
"My favorite part of the holidays is making handmade gifts. These gifts don’t have to be time consuming - just something fun and thoughtful.
This year my 4-year-old daughter wanted to help. She *loves* crafts! Together we decided to make pom pom snowman. And they are easy! You can either use large store-bought pom poms, but we decided to make our own using pom pom makers. This is something we can do together and they don’t take long at all. We tied two pom poms together, with one being slightly smaller than the other.
For the scarf, we used a long and narrow strip of felt and cut a little fringe at the end. The eyes are black gems. (Easy, huh?) For a quick nose we used a triangle piece of orange felt. All the embellishments were added with a hot glue gun. You could also make a top hat if you want!
We are making lots of these. Some will sit on top of jars of candied pecans for neighbors. Others will hang off gift bags for teachers. A few may make it on to some trees!
I hope your holidays are blessed and that you have a wonderful new year!"

Love today's prize, I almost bought one of those typewriters but decided to wait to see what Santa brought. Awesome way to wind up the 12 days of giving. I can't wait to see who wins.

Oh my! Such cuteness from Jennifer McGuire! I just LOVE the little snow man. And the typewriter reminds me of the one my parents gave me when I went off to college. Sadly, I no longer have it.
Posted by: Kim Innis | December 21, 2016 at 10:20 AM
What an amazing finale!! Thanks to you and all of the sponsors for such great giveaways!!!

The snowman project is just too cute. I loved doing projects with my kids for gifts when they were younger and now they have continued that love and are designing and making their own gifts now. Thanks for the inspiration and a chance for to win fabulous prizes.

Love the snowman. This has been so much fun. Merry Christmas to all!
Posted by: Laura Beckom | December 21, 2016 at 10:24 AM
I love the retro typewriter, this would certainly be a lot easier to type a quick message into a card rather than formatting a computer program or trying to find just the right stamp. I never thought I'd see manual typewriters again, but this proves that technology isn't everything. The little snowman is adorable!
Posted by: Scarj3000 | December 21, 2016 at 10:25 AM
The snowman is so cute and awesome prizes I have been wanting the typewriter !!!!
Posted by: Teresa Inman | December 21, 2016 at 10:25 AM
Awww...such a sweet little snowman that you and your daughter made. I remember making such adorable little things when my children were that age. Fabulous finale to your giveaways...you are always so generous. Merry Christmas everyone...and the Happiest and Healtiest of New Years!!!
