I’m linking up today with Kelly’s Korner for her Christmas Tour of Homes, even though this post was from a couple of weeks ago.
You won’t get to see my whole house…but you will get bits and pieces….and some good idea for some Christmas canvases!
I’m so glad you are back for the 2nd Day of Christmas!
If you missed entering for the $500 Nordstrom gift card on the first day, click HERE!
And don’t forget to see what Shay is up to today! I promise you it’s good!
Here’s what I have in store for you:
Remember, you have to sing it . 🙂
Actually, before we start with gift ideas for the kids, I wanted to show you two things that I am VERY proud of.
I’m not a super crafty mom…
I’m not even kind of a crafty mom.
Not. At. All.
And my friends will tell you that I’m the ABSOLUTE WORST at planning kids birthday parties.
Really. Not even being funny. I totally suck.
That being said, you will now have a bit of a better understanding of why I am soooo excited about the next two things I’m going to talk about.
Check this picture out.
That is my family room.
And that is a picture of Santa super-imposed on it (done at this site HERE) looking like he’s been “caught”). I did this for Carter last year and he totally ate it up.
It’s easy, and it’s free!
I know it’s not really “crafty”, but it counts as crafty for me.
2)
If you really know me, you are probably going to question if I hired this next thing out.
But I promise you, I did not.
You can ask my bestie Lisa and her little girl Blakely,
because they were with us when we made them!
TODAY I’m going to show you how I get my Christmas craft on.
because “DUH!”…
Pinterest Told Me To!
You guys.
And I cannot tell you the joy they bring to me each time I look at them.
They really tug on this mama’s heart.
Easy Peasy.
I just used a pencil to do a rough sketch of about what size I wanted the tree to be.
I know.
I impressed myself with that one.
Again. I KNOW!
(and they were the very last ones I took down last year).
And this year we’ll be getting together with Lisa and Blakely again to do another one.
I’ve already turned to Pinterest for inspiration, and I’ve found 2 that I LOVE.
Are you dying?
This one is PERFECT if you have 2 kids!

That Christmas tree sure is cute, but I’m definitely leaning towards towards the cute little Mistle”toes”! I will definitely be posting the new canvas once it’s done.
And listen, if I can do these, YOU can do these.
You can have complete confidence in that!
Okay….two more things on the agenda today.
First I’m going to talk about some gifts for your young kids.
And then I’m going to do a Santa Alert, so stick with me!
I’m going to focus on young kids today because that’s what I have and that’s what I know.
First up, I want to talk about THESE house shoes that my little guy is dying for.
He saw them on our last trip to Nordstrom and has been talking about them ever since!
If your little one doesn’t like dinosaurs, but you think they would love a pair of light up slippers, there are other choices for both boys and girls HERE including a puppy dog, a fire truck, a soccer ball, a hoot owl, and a polar bear. All of them are so cute!
And if your little guy loves dinosaurs , there are several choices for gifts HERE including puzzles, raincoats, an umbrella, tennis shoes, books, and THIS shirt that I’m getting for Carter.
It’s a dino shirt (which he’ll love), but I actually love it too!
Good for him AND me!
Isn’t it so cute?!?!
And while we are on clothes, I always give Carter a couple of functional gifts that he needs mixed in with the fun toys.
(It’s another package for him to have fun opening, and it’s something he truly needs that I would have spent money on anyway!)
This year he needs a new coat, and THIS is the one he is getting.
Yep, he’s getting a Northface jacket just like his daddy’s HERE.
Carter will LOVE matching his dad!
In addition to dinosaurs, my boy also loves ALL things camo,
so he will be getting one of the items from HERE.
I’m thinking the rain boots HERE are going to be perfect since he just outgrew his other ones.
But if your guy doesn’t have a camo puffer vest (mine already does), he definitely needs THIS (and it’s 33% off)!
Whether you have a boy or a girl, I think rain boots are another one of those gifts that are PERFECT gift to give that is both fun for the child to open and functional for the parents to give! Plus, because of the designs on them, your child can actually be super excited about them too!
Click HERE for all kids rainboots, and you won’t believe some of the awesome choices!
Frogs, Spider Man, Butterflies, Owls, Flowers, Polka Dots, Hello Kitty, Ladybugs,
Lightning McQueen, etc….
Seriously, click HERE and look around!
My favorite girl version is HERE.
You will find the PERFECT pair for your little one that he or she will LOVE!
And while we are on footwear, if you have a little girl, the two of you could both ooh and ahh over a pair of little girl UGGS HERE.
I’m thinking the pink and purple leopard, the bow backed, or the sequins would be a big hit!
If I had a little girl she would be in these FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!
DARLING!!!!!!
On to toys!
Click HERE for all Melissa and Doug toys!
You seriously cannot beat Melissa and Doug toys, and the link has everything from dress up costumes, to big stuffed animals (the big golden retriever sits next to Carter’s bed!), to their famous puzzles, to nesting blocks, to a little piano, to magnetic dress up dolls.
Seriously. Just click HERE and look around.
Super cute and well made toys that are awesome to give.
Carter is BIG into Switch and Go Dinos right now and he has been since he was about 3. We just keep on adding to our collection!
Find the entire selection at Target.
(I’m having trouble linking to the entire collection, but just click HERE and write “switch and go dinos” in the search bar.)
They range in price from $12.99 to $69.99 based on size.
VTech Switch and Go Dinos Brok the Brachiosaurus. They are all 2-in-1 toys that
transform (ex. from a massive car carrier to a Brachiosaurus and back again
in just a few simple steps). For more excitement, this gentle giant has a
1.5 LCD screen that comes to life with the push of a button and
features cool driver- and dino-eyes animations. Simply push one of the
buttons to customize your driver- or dino-eyes, or push the other
buttons to trigger realistic sound effects and phrases that teach fun
dino facts.
- Manufacturer Suggested Age 4 Years and Up
Carter got THIS when he was 3, and he played with it for 2 solid years.
What a fun gift to have all set up Christmas morning from Santa.
I’m telling you, shopping online at Target for Christmas is WHERE IT’S AT!
Most toys ship free, and it just couldn’t be any easier.
Click HERE, search around, and find what your kiddo wants!
Sorry I don’t have more ideas for you today, to be honest..I just ran out of time.
#bloggerproblems
🙂
However, I OF COURSE made time for the giveaway.
It’s a good one girls!
It’s a Stella and Dot Prize Package valued at $150!
It includes the Tessa fringe necklace found HERE, the leopard poof found HERE*,
and the Nikita bracelet found HERE.
There is a special right now where you can get 3 poufs for $60 and they make AWESOME gifts (including teacher gifts!). Click HERE for all 11 pouf color combo and pattern choices.
Remember to enter “Sheaffer Sims” as your hostess.
And in honor of our Stella and Dot prize package, my new FAVORITE earrings are a Santa Alert!
(Don’t forget to check out all of my Santa Alerts in one spot HERE.)
Click HERE for the Cora earrings, and remember to enter “Sheaffer Sims” as your hostess!
These earrings are light, just the right amount of sparkly, and they go with EVERYTHING.
And if you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, then you
already know my other 2 favorite Stella and Dot pieces are the Kimberly
Necklace HERE and the Sanibel Pedant HERE.
I wear them both constantly, and they would both make AMAZING gifts.
Here I am in the Kimberly.
Love. Adore.
Here I am in the Sanibel.
Love. Adore.
These would both be great items to use with the Pinterest Told Me To gift labels that you will be able to find HERE by the end of the day!
Well, good news, if there are several items you want to get for both you and some girls you love, you can collect Dot Dollars right now. For every $50 you spend right now, you will get $25 to use towards a purchase in January!
Lots of gifts under $50 HERE.
And some great choices under $100 HERE.
And check out the special for December!
If you spend $50, you get get $50 any or all of the following items! LOVE those bags!
So, that’s it for today!
I got my craft on,
I gave you a handful of ideas for kid’s toys,
and I announced a new Santa Alert.
We had a big day girls!
See you back here tomorrow (because I’m posting EACH AND EVERY DAY for the 12 Day series)!
I’ll give you a big hint…..
Tomorrow is Part 2 of a recent post…..
and I might be continuing the search for items to cover your crotchal area appropriately.
Okay. I am.
I see a need, and I’m going to continue to shop until I fill that need!
Don’t forget to check out Shay’s recipe of the day!
Click HERE for the recipe.
YUMMY!
Now it’s time to enter the rafflecopter for the Stella and Dot prize.
The winner will be announced tomorrow!
(The giveaway from the Nordstrom card will end on Friday morning at 12:00 a.m. and will be announced Friday morning.)

Thanks for the giveaway! Lena
Mix and Match Mama says
As a very close and personal friend, I will vouch that you are not crafty. At all. Ever. Not one bit. But I don't judge, because the craftiest I get is when I pull out my checkbook and pay someone else to be crafty for me. (Writing that check can be super crafty…). That being said, your canvas art is FABULOUS!! Brilliant perhaps! I love, love, love them! You should be super proud. Super, super, super proud!
Kristy says
LOVE the canvas ideas! So cute!!! I also do a lot of online toy shopping at Target! Love to shop in my jammies! I got a pair of those slippers for my little girl (dog). Great post!

Give yourself a pat on the back on those sweet canvas paintings. I want to be crafty and I try, but it usually doesn't turn out to good. My girls and I love to paint on canvas, but they don't always make it to the wall! LOL!
I am super excited about that Santa in your family room. I will be checking that out very soon!
I love the new Santa Alert!
Have a great day!

Love your blog Sheaffer! I've been reading it since the beginning and love it 🙂 Anyways I just searched back thru to find this post to look at the Christmas canvases. I did the Santa handprint one last year and love it, it's my favorite decoration. I want to attempt the Christmas tree canvas and the snowman feet one this year with my 2 1/2 year old little guy. Could you tell me what size those two canvases are? I want to make sure I buy a big enough size but not too big! Haha thanks for your help! 🙂
