Christmas 2011 was a tough one on us for buying presents. With that in mind I had in my head to make as many handmade gifts as possible.
 |
| Sugar scrub made with SUGAR, Olive Oil and lemon zest! IT makes your skin feel amazing. |
 |
| Rocky and Bullwinkle Coasters |
 |
| Homemade salsa complete with some chips! |
 |
| A quilted pillow for my sister (she is a teacher) |
 |
| some adorable change purses from some lilly shirts that had stains |
 |
| a coin purse for a teacher |
 |
| a coin purse with dictionary fabric |
 |
| a tote bag and coin purse and a cute quilted pillow. |
 |
| Quilted bags and some aprons for friends. |
 |
| a Christmas tote for my sister. |
 |
| extra spicy salsa for my spicy friends. |
 |
| an assortment of Jams and jellies to go with some homemade bread |
 |
| They had the Cutest labels. My daughter learned to make jam! |
 |
| earrings we made from A very old vintage leather coat. |
 |
| this just makes me hungry. Homemade bread with the jellies. waiting to cool. |
 |
| a Maxine quilt for cuddles on the couch. |
All these things were basically made with things we already had or re purposed. I happened to have a ton of cilantro growing in my garden that winter. And I had frozen Berries left over from picking this summer.
Cheers have a happy day! and remember to think outside the box.
