This morning I had the honor of sharing awesome Cricut stocking ideas, both decorating the stockings AND the things that go inside on FOX News Denver. I always love love love to spend time with awesome KDVR team behind the scenes and on the set when we are live. I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with them each month to share ideas with you! This morning was so fun and energizing.
Hopefully everyone who watched is inspired to take their stocking game to the next level. The Cricut machines allow personalizing options for fabric, metal, plastic, glass and so much more. Stockings can be personalized but so can buckets, tubs and jars. I love that the things that go inside the stocking can also be personalized with Cricut. Gosh, things can be made to go in the stocking too using Cricut! It is like the bestest greatest thing ever.
The Explore Air 2 is a great way to enter the Cricut world of creating ALL THE THINGS! I recommend starting with a Cricut Bundle!
One of the most awesome things about Cricut is that you can get their products on their website. It adds so much value that they have amazing customer service. However, when it a time constraint, Michaels carries their products too and has all the things you need.
I love that the Cricut Mini Press is so darn adorable and works so great. I think it would be PERFECT in a stocking or gifted at any time for any reason at all. We used it on air to add names to stockings via tags.
This Christmas Michaels has an exclusive RED Cricut Air Explore 2. I shared it in my segment but guys, it is BRAND new. Is is shiny and beautiful and ready to go to a new home. You can enter to WIN it here on my blog, along with a GOLD Cricut Cutie.

What an awesome giveaway. My favorite Christmas tradition is fixing up my house with Christmas decor for my friends to see. About a week ago, my friends father passed away. He had gotten pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. It weakened his heart and he ended up passing away. It was so sad, because I never got the chance to meet him. I wanted to do something nice for my friend so I fixed my entire apartment up with Christmas decor to bring a little joy to him since he is grieving. He loves Christmas. So this year that is what I am doing. Thank you for the chance to win. 🙂

My favorite Christmas Tradition that we do every year, is the way we spend the Holidays. My family is Hispanic and so we spend Christmas Eve with my parents and siblings and open gifts at midnight. Then, we head home around 2 am, put the kids to bed, and we start setting up for Santa! In the morning, we open presents, just us and our kids and then head over to our in-laws and celebrate Christmas Day. We found a way to enjoy this special holiday with the people most important to us and I wouldn’t have it any other way…
My favorite tradition is when the whole family gets together and we decorate the tree, and talk, laugh, and reminisce about all the ornaments we hare gathered thru the years.

I love when the family gets together to decorate cookies. Even the guys get involoved and it is so much fun filled laughter.
I was asking my girls(10 &13) this, and was surprised that the simple things are their favorite. They love going to Christmas Eve service, then out to dinner and getting their one package to open which is always Christmas jammies then putting them on in the restaurant bathroom and driving around to look at lights.
Time with family anyway I can get it, is mine; baking cookies, watching Christmas movies, playing Christmas games, putting together the Christmas puzzle and creating gifts for teachers & friends. On one of our doctors visits to children’s hospital we visited the tween room and got to use their circut to create decorative jars. The girls have been obsessed ever since saving their babysitting money so they can buy a circut and all the goodies to go with it. This would be a neat opportunity for us if we win. MERRY Christmas.
So many cute ideas and a wonderful giveaway!

It helps my brothers and I remember them every Christmas and always stirs up a coversation about the people we are missing.

I really don’t have one single favorite Christmas tradition. Instead, it’s doing all of those familiar “little things” that I love and look forward to every year. For example, I love all of the “crafty” things that I do in the several weeks-plus leading up to Christmas Day, e.g., making gift tags, doing needlework projects, making an Advent calendar, and making fun banners. I also love listening to my favorite holiday music, and baking great recipes. 🙂
