Nothing says Happy New Year more than glitter! Glittery makeup, sequin dresses, yes, Yes, YES! Use these glittery images on your blog or your online shop. You can overlay text for sales and post titles or even photoshop in your newest product! (It is the perfect time to run a promotion in your online shop now that everyone's Christmas money is burning a hole in their pocket!)

If you're like me, you've stared at that gorgeous Sugar Paper wrapping paper at Target. $6 a roll. It might be pretty, but it isn't that practical if you have large gifts to wrap! Now .97 CENT pretty paper, .97 cents I can do! I found these two pretty papers at Wal-Mart and I ended up liking them even more than the Target paper! You could easily add some brown craft paper in here too. And the pom-poms? Handmade while watching Christmas Movies while drinking Prosecco. Do you splurge for wrapping paper? Share in the comments!

Most years I hand make our Christmas cards.  I head to Micheals, stock up on blank cards and spend a day crafting them with my bestie. (See my Moose Christmas Card from 2014 here!) But this year, my best friend and I will be spending the holiday season apart as she is still living in Dallas and I'm back in PA. (I know we are strange, we've been mistaken for a couple in the past...).  Anyway, this year I decided to go the photo route and as my fiance is anti-photos, who else would I feature but our puppy Jake! Enjoy these photos that didn't make the Christmas Card cut!
