DIY Personalized Christmas Ornaments

Kim Brush6 Comments

Our family LOVES to make gifts for others at Christmas. It’s economical and it makes it extra special when it’s handmade! We also have a tradition of a new ornament each year for everyone so these DIY Jenga Ornaments are perfect as they are handmade and cost very little to make!

As with many of my crafts I started with the items in my home and then went to the Dollar Tree for the rest of my supplies. I’m always surprised what I find there! What doesn’t surprise me is the great bargains!

Easy DIY Christmas Hot pad Gift

Kim Brush2 Comments

Food and useful items are high on my list for what makes a great gift! And of course, who doesn’t love brownies plus can find a use for a hot pad for the kitchen. This easy DIY Christmas hot pad is a great gift which works for men or women. And with a price tag under $5 it qualifies as a very frugal Christmas gift.

We are entering what we call “no rest for the weary” weeks.  Starting with Halloween there is something almost every weekend that keeps us busy or away from home!  I have the 4 essentials on my list for the holidays that I will not sacrifice but I like to think and work ahead to maintain a spirit of peace and joy in our home.  For me that means creating homemade gifts ahead of time and stashing them away in readiness for gift giving.
