Homemade Gifts

Some of my favorite gifts I have given and received are gifts that were handmade.

There is just something about making something for someone else...

A friend gave me some of these last year...they were eaten very quickly :)

 (photo from Bakerella)  This recipe is SIMPLE!

This is another easy recipe that Anna likes to help me with.

I think we will attempt to make these for our neighbors.

This is a fun thing to make that a handful of people have received from me...

it takes some time but once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty smoothly.

(Although my first one left me with a lot of hot glue burns :))

I love how the finished product looks.  I am in the process of making one for my own wall.

Here is a great tutorial!

I think this would be a cute idea from Martha for a kids's room.  It's a cork board so you can hang things on it, too! (And...I love monograms!!)

This is a sweet gift that Anna has made before...but this one uses fabric.  

So easy for kids to create!

And how cute are these ornaments??

There are SO many ideas out there...but I will stop there so I don't 

give away my ideas for this year!! :)

Happy gift making!
