Talk To Me Tuesday: "What homemade Christmas Gifts did you make last year?"

I thought this was a great idea, so I stole it from Melissa (wink wink).



So today's is "What homemade Christmas Gifts did you make last year?"

I'm all about homemade gifts!!! Lets see, last year, all the kids (cousins, friends kids) got piggy banks. I went and picked up some ceremic piggys at Hobby Lobby. I painted them with acrylic paints, including each childs name on it, then sealed it with clear spray paint. They were sooo cute! I added $1 bills to each so they weren't empty. It still came out to about $5 a gift for each.

I'm not sure we made anything else last year. But we have also done name plaques that I painted each child's name on for them to hang on thier walls. Eric did some wood burning for adults.

Of course, I didn't think to take pics of any of this, so you'll just have to use your imagination!


Plan for my next blog.....Ohio vs Texas, The Wedding Dance
