Welcome to Happiness is Homemade! I’m choosing the features for the month of February. Before we get to this week’s features, let’s check out what’s been going on here on the blog over the past few days. Be sure to head over and link up on Cr a fty Creators before you go! Katie from My Messy Messy Mess will be choosing our features and writing the posts for the month of April.

You’ve still got 2 weeks to make your DIY Mother’s Day gifts, and this faux leather photo keychain would be perfect for any lady in your life who needs a little love on that special day! It would be a great graduation present too. Can you imagine if you placed a new set of car keys on them to honor their hard work over the past 13 years?? You’d have to save money in that case, so it’s a good thing you can make about 5-10 of these keychains for $2.50 lol!
