  1. Amazing. I’m glad AS has been around for long enough to generate enough top-quality holiday content for a master post like this one!

  2. Anyone else read the title and get their hopes up that this was going to be about a literal tool box and or power tools?

  3. There’s a snowglobe necklace on the 100 projects one! OMG it’s so cute! I feel like a 14-year old with how much I like it!
