Check out events at your local craft stores for ways to get creative this season. Stores like Michael’s and Paper Source host a variety of creative classes such as decorating your classrooms (for you teachers out there) and workshops that teach everything from rubber stamping to calligraphy. It’s a great way to learn something new, spend time with your kids or just find new ways to create an awesome party.

One project you could try is to create a basket of goodies for a birthday girl or boy, or new parents-to-be. Just buy a basket or cellophane bag and add these cute gift tags, address labels and personalized stationery.
