Make Your Own Christmas Gifts!

Have you entered my Perfect Recipe Basket Giveaway yet? You have until December 2nd! Three lucky commenters will win!!!

As you may know, I post a craft or sewing project every Saturday at the very popular Make It From Scratch blog. I try to post simple things that anyone can make and things that the kids can help with as well. My love of crafting came from being taught by my Mom and Grandmas and I am hoping to pass on that love to my children.

With Christmas quickly approaching, I thought I'd take the opportunity tonight to round up some of my craft posts into one tidy little list for you. There are many people who will be looking for Christmas gifts to make this year, so this is for you.

Here are a couple of my past posts from It's all for the best and The Fat Bottomed Girl that would be great for gift-giving as well.

So cut down on the gifts that require going through barcode scanners first and make some of your gifts this year. You'll save a ton of money and your family and friends will be really impressed that you took the time to make something just for them.
