We elves love most everything creative. Be it an inventive cookie recipe, a new sewing technique, or music that mashes up various genres, we get excited over new ideas. If you’re like us and would enjoying checking out some imaginative and sometimes unusual ideas, head on over to Kickstarter<\/a>, a website whose mission is “to help bring creative projects to life.”<\/p>\n\"Raymond\n

Kickstarter is a platform for creators to announce and explain their projects to the world and for other folks to donate money to help make these projects become a reality. The site includes all different categories of projects, such as music, food, technology, design, and more, and the projects can range from $700 needed to print a run of t-shirts to $1,000,000 needed to create a telescope [a publicly accessible space telescope, actually?how awesome is that?!].<\/p>\n

Since there are only 3 months until Christmas [yowza!], I thought it would be fun to highlight a few of my favourite festive Kickstarter projects, so without further ado?<\/p>\n

Ximena’s super cool-funky-unique Hol.i.dAy album !<\/a><\/h2>\n

The singer & project creator, Ximena Borges, describes this album as “infusing holiday music with a breath of fresh air! All one voice, one body, no snow required?must hear twice to believe!!” Just watch the video, and you’ll hear was Ximena is talking about!<\/p>\n
