The Holiday Pinterest Challenge with Jody Holford

Baking, decorating, family…all the things that fill the holidays with joy. Join our Entangled authors as they share a little something special from their home during the holidays.

Today Jody Holford participated in our Holiday Pinterest Challenge. Check out how she did. :)

The goal:

The process:

Collecting the boxes was actually one of the hardest parts. We just moved in the summer and though there are still several boxes in our garage, I didn’t want to wrap up something we might need so between work and home I managed to find three different sizes.

Helpers are required to sit IN boxes.

Coming together

2/3 of a snowman!!! But something just isn’t right!!!

We needed to be listening to this.

The song made magical things start to happen (so did my daughter with some Shutterfly boxes and wrapping paper)

Olaf & I messing around.

The end result:

Overall, this is one of the simplest and cutest pinterest things that I’ve tried. I was really pleased with how it turned out. If I were to do something different, I would have used a lighter color for the wrapping paper because, as you can tell, it’s a little hard to see the eyes and mouth and buttons. It’s one of those projects where you can really take creative license (ie: mess up) and have it still turn out adorably. What do you think?

On sale for just 99¢ for a limited time only!

Owen Burnett planned on a quiet, easygoing Christmas, hanging out with his best friend and neighbor, Gabby Michaelson. So when his mom pressures him to come home for the holidays, he tells a little white lie…that he’s spending the holidays with his new girlfriend. But when his family shows up unexpectedly, Owen pulls the best friend card and asks Gabby to play his fake girlfriend.

Gabby’s been hopelessly in love with her best friend Owen for what feels like forever, but playing his “fake” girlfriend when the entire boisterous Burnett clan visits is easier said than done. The more she tries to deny the attraction between them, the more obvious their chemistry becomes. But even though she’s not the only one feeling it, putting their friendship on the line is a risk she can’t take.
