Hello! I'm looking to create a small booklet of some of the entertaining ideas that we've received over the years (ie: last years trivet stocking idea, the large white platter idea, this years stuff, etc....) Basically something I can pass around for folks to get ideas from during a homemade for the holidays themed show. Does anyone happen to have the .pdf files from previous years? I can find them on CC.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! I don't have the .pdf files from previous years, but I do have some ideas that might be helpful for your booklet. One idea could be to include a DIY hot cocoa mix recipe with cute packaging ideas, or a tutorial for making homemade candles using essential oils. Another idea could be to include a list of fun and easy DIY ornaments to make with kids, or a guide for creating personalized photo gifts. I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your homemade for the holidays themed show!
