With the holidays right around the corner I decided to "re-release" my Haute Holidays online class. I created this online class a couple of years ago and recently spent some time updating and adding some new projects and inspiration. It is a little different from my other online classes because it is all project based- lots and lots of projects to inspire!
This class will motivate you to create your own stylish handmade holiday! You will learn simple and easy techniques, unique projects that incorporate paint, fabric, recycled materials, motivation to spend little or no money on decorations and gifts. A variety of videos, projects, photos and inspiration to start creating your own haute holiday!
Registration for Haute Holidays starts TODAY and the class goes live this Friday, November 18th
I am offering the class at a reduced price- $40.00 this holiday season.
For all the details and to register hop on over to my online shop
AND as a bonus I will be giving away 3 free spots in the class-
To enter leave me a comment
Tell me your favorite things to create for the holidays.
I will draw three winners and announce them later this this week.
Important Note- if you registered for Haute Holidays in the past- email me and I will give you access back into the class.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to create is a feeling of safety and warmth in my home and my spirit. My art creations add to that feeling, of course, but it's really more of an attitude of acceptance and joy in the moment. There are too few places that offer that "hug" feeling, so I strive to create it year round. Thanks for offering the chance to take what looks like an amazing and inspiring class.
ReplyDeleteI love making my December Daily journal ... and then filling it up day by day. Those are my favorite 'decorations'!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to create aside from memories and new traditions is ornaments for EVERYONE and wreaths for everything: cupboards, doors, outside, fireplace, bathroom. I'm also a pretty big fan of garland and bunting from scraps of anything.

ReplyDeleteThanks for giveaway!
I love cooking up a storm and we are doing our first ever Christmas breakfast at home this year as we have such a hot summer here in Australia we decided it was time for a change. I have already picked out some fantastic recipes I want to try and one that I am so excited about is a Christmas Neopolitan cake, yummo. Every year I make something for the house, haven't work out what for this year but because we are having a Christmas breakfast I am thinking paper lanterns around our patio and have started collecting coffee jars of which I will decorate with paper, twine and doilies and have little tea candles inside, just saying this out aloud is getting me excited, thanks for the giveaway, fingers and toes crossed.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win!
I make my niece a new sweater every year!
ReplyDeleteI like to create some type of creative theme for wrapping all the gifts. This Christmas I'm using brown butcher paper from a huge roll I bought for $1...and then I'll be bright and varied on the ribbons and package decorations. I love beautiful gifts, but I hate to spend much money on the outside....rather spend it on the gift. So this is always kind of a personal challenge each year.

ReplyDeleteA traditional favorite thing for me to create during the holidays is food :-) I love decorating cookies and making an apple pie and homemade yeast rolls for Christmas dinner.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway!
I can't pick one favorite. Seems that each year I make certain types of things. This year I'm painting on canvas for a lot of my family.
ReplyDeleteI looove the Christmas atmosphere. I usually make gingerbread cookies and have lots of fun decorating them, I also like making paper decorations to hang around the house and centerpieces for the holiday table.

I'm a dutch woman and I love your art. This is the first christmas without my daughter Madelief, she died 8 februari 2011 because of a braintumor on the age of 11. I loved to create christmas ornaments with her and now I have to find a new way. This class would be inspirational!
ReplyDeleteWe have a tradition to draw names for "made" gifts. I have my sister this year, so I would love to win a spot to make her one of your projects! My husband and I pick something to make for all our family too. Our favorite was the year we made 15 fleece neck warmers for all the nieces and nephews and bamboo cutting boards for our sisters/brothers/parents. Thanks for the opportunity! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing is decorating the tree and putting up the light display outside. My kids love that every year I have a different colour and theme.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I would love to win this class!! I love to make new ornaments every year and also swap them with people all over the world so my tree has so many beautiful and interesting ornaments on it. I also love to bake goodies for my friends and family. The third thing I love to do is create a wonderful feeling inside my home by decorating and arranging inside of my house for a feel of holiday whimsy!
ReplyDeleteI have a party for friends, a sit down dinner & gift exchange and I love to come up with a creative theme and something differnt every year
ReplyDeleteI love to bake cookies, and quick breads. Since my daughter moved away (from Texas to Washington) I haven't really felt like doing much for the celebration of the holidays. Now that I have a new grandbaby,my heart has changed and this class would be the perfect start for creating that perfect holiday ornament or symbol.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win!
wow, looks like so much fun, thank you for the opportunity to win a spot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, love Holiday ideas. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy mother always decorated to the hilt for every holiday, and it was mostly with handcrafted items or simple kit items since (I didn't know) we didn't have much money as I was growing up. She suddenly died at the young age of 64 from a rare autoimmune disorder on May 17th, and she was always so proud of my artistic creations. As she lost brain function in front of my eyes on Mother's Day morning, one of the last things she said to me was how much she loved the Mother's Day card from me that she'd just opened, and how creative it was with 2 flower centers that were actually a pair of handmade earrings and a 3rd flower that was a handmade but simple vintage-style brooch. She said she couldn't wait to wear them, but sadly she wore the brooch to her grave. Mom's favorite things to create at the holidays were always intricately beaded ornaments, which I will forever treasure. Personally, I love making handmade gifts of any kind... whatever fits the person. And I could certainly use some inspiration after losing Mom, my 14-yr-old cat, and one of my Dad's 3 sisters all within a 5-week time span this year plus my mother-in-law 10 months earlier. I love the holidays, but part of me is dreading them terribly this year. Crafting is my escape and my best therapy. --ASJ
ReplyDeleteYour ornaments are amazing. I would love a chance to win a spot in this class.
ReplyDeleteRuth
In my family, Christmas holidays are a time to celebrate all the blessings of the past year. My favorite things to create are warm wishes and charitable giving to others in need. My Christmas cards are all handmade and include a staged family picture.
ReplyDeleteI so look forward to making homemade treats, especially when it involves getting messy in the kitchen with my mom! Of course adding my own touches to the wrappings is something I totally dig! Thanks for offering the class, Alisa. I'm totally stoked about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win a spot in this workshop! It looks awesome! I like to create handmade gift wraps and coordinating tags, etc. I also love to bake! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteTHis is our first Christmas in our first home, so I am thinking of all kinds of projects...wreaths, cookies, ornaments, tree skirts...looking forward to starting some new traditions, too :)
ReplyDeleteMy family celebrates Dutch Christmas and part of our tradition is drawing names to pick a person to give a gift to. Then we buy the gift, create a poem hinting at what it might be, and create a "disguise." It can get simple or elaborate. One year my uncle gave another uncle an igloo cooler. He bunched up newspaperto make a dome around the cooler and glued tons and tons of cotton balls on to make...an igloo! It's a lot of fun and good for a lot of laughs!
ReplyDeleteoooo! look at al these comments! I would LOVE to win this class. I really love your style, Alisa. My favourite decoration to create is ornaments for sure- they are great to have a bunch on hand to hand out as hostess gifts.
ReplyDeleteAnything homemade comes straight from the heart. I always tell my daughters that a homemade card is WAY more awesome to receive! Thanks for the give-away opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI`ll make small hearts of "french wire" attaching a red wooden ball to them and hang them in our christmastree, I have already made 65 of them!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to sewing/crafting so I don't have any favorite creations yet - unless you count dozens and dozens of rugelach! This year I've had it in my head to do a simple felt garland for the fireplace mantel that my 2-year-old and 4-year-old daughters can help me with. I plan to use variations on the tradition colors - maybe lime green and deep red and robin's egg blue.
