With the festive season fast approaching, it’s time to stock up on gift ideas for your loved ones! Nana is here to help.
One of my favorite places to shop is Etsy. If you have never checked out Etsy, you really should. Etsy offers one of a kind, hard to find items from independent sellers including unique handmade gifts as well as some fabulous items for crafters of all kinds.

These 10 DIY projects will give you some ideas on how-to get out in the fresh air, have some fun and enjoy some family activities.
