Frugal Friday: Crafty Christmas Ideas

I was looking around on the internet today for a crafty Christmas idea and a new Christmas picture for the background of my blog. I came across these sites...
----
You Seriously Made That!? (I love these nativity silouettes! No ideas for how to use them exactly yet)
----

And, of course from Money Saving Mom
----
Oh, here's one more...Gifts in a Jar eBook free download from Heavenly Homemakers...I think I'm going to try the Simmer Pot in a Jar on p. 17
----
I know the ideas out there are endless. I think I'll be posting some pictures of some of my recent projects (such as the pumpkin spice sugar scrub, snowflake busy bags, and pom-poms and pinchers busy bag) soon now that they are no longer "surprises". I also have been inspired to try some hair accessories after I received a very cool headband from my sister, Julie, for Christmas. Seeing new things inspires me. There's still time for another homemade Christmas gift...

That 36th ave handmade gifts under $5 is FANTASTIC!!! I've bookmarked it... love it. Hopefully I have time to do some! - the snack mix may either go to our small group christmas party or to the neighbors :) that would be fun!

Fantastic ideas!
They are all so cute.
Sorry our gifting is over for this year.
Yes, I love the snack mix too Julie.

Dad said...

yes the snack mix is neat, HOWEVER, did you see how to make the santa hats? Way too much for a chex mix type of snack. I like the original mix so why go to all the bother. A man's view!
