DIY Holiday Crafts

By Veronica Rodriguez


The holiday season is upon us! October means the beginning to the holiday marathon that is Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I've never really realized how close those 3 holidays are to each other. They really do just come one straight after the other.
