December! Crafty Creatives Box 6

Winter is well and truly here. Along with cold weather and icy sidewalks, the viruses have arrived. And not just the colds and flus- but the fun stomach viruses that kids love to share. Luckily we weren't hit hard this time around, but I spent a good day and a half feeling weak and wobbly, and wishing I had some nice brothy soup. Things weren't allowed to come to a complete halt but instead came to a crawl, which ended on a high note.

I think you can guess what that high note was!

My Crafty Creatives box came as I was snuggled in bed, a perfect place when you consider this month's theme: ICY!

Beautiful blues, purples, and whites make this box a real treat to look at. The art card is one of my favourites so far, and I couldn't stop staring at it!

The kit this month is right up my alley. As a complete and utter Lush Cosmetics addict, I am no stranger to a bath bomb, but surprisingly I've never made my own before! I've been meaning to get into a Lush shop make-your-own night but something always thwarts me, so I'm excited to have my own kit to do it at home! There is more than enough for several bath bombs, so I'm going to try out some variations as well. 

This box has a lot that is down my particular alley. I've always been more of a bead-crafter than a paper-crafter, and there is a lot here for making my magpie soul sing. At the top of my list is the string of fluorite chips. It's one of my favourite gems to work with, and I have a good idea for using it in an original way.

This box also had a great little thank you gift- some Crafty Creatives badges! These made me smile as much as any of the craft items I've received in any box so far. They're such a great little extra that I can't wait to pin to my bag.
