I'm still poking around etsy these days for some last-minute stocking stuffers, although in my world, 9 days til Christmas is far from last-minute.

CMP fave Dana Marie Hosler of GreenStarStudio always has something nifty and new, and today is no exception. Especially if you've got a budding reader in the family.
The color your own bookmarks are simply adorable, featuring her trademark little creatures. Arty and so fun. I know my girls would love turning them into masterpieces that they can look at every night when we return to our bookmarked page in Charlotte's Web.

If you like those, look around her shop for other stocking stuffers and affordable gifts like glycerine soaps, super cute felt birdie bobby pins, and on the ever-so-slightly higher end, an art doll you can color.

Don't you just love making it a handmade holiday? -Liz
