Semi-homemade Christmas

In the spirit of being frugal, I tried to make some of our Christmas gifts this year.  I forgot to take pictures of a few things, but here are some of them:

journal for my niece (divas - you'll recognize this one)

tree ornaments for Sunday school teachers

calendars for the grandmothers

ABC scripture cards for my niece and my preschool class

letters for another niece's wall

and a cross-stitch for my nephew (thankfully I started this one last summer)

I saw this post and am thinking I may try to add the gift wrapping to my repertoire next year - we'll see!  I also love Alisha's magnet toy!  We'll see what next year holds in store.

  5. I'm glad you liked the magnet toy. I think it's a great handmade gift because you don't have to be super-crafty to make it. The cross-stitch looks great, as do the other gifts. I'm already making a list of ideas for next Christmas!
