    Default What are You Making for Christmas This Year?

    I really liked those snowman jar tops. I'd like to do some of those Paperclip Angels for coworkers and to hang on gifts. I'll probably do some more lightbulb snowmen. I have tons of jars for candles .... I'm just too broke to spend much money.

    We're cutting down on Christmas spending here, since I cut my hours to part-time when Maria was born.

    I'm making a journal jar for my SIL, and jar cookie mixes for my co-workers... that's all I know for sure so far.

    I will probably make a few things for my family's $3 gift exchange... that's my mom's side of the family, the one with 150 cousins, so we do a little gift just for fun. Last year I made one of those-- a wire whisk filled with Hershey's Kisses and a tag that said "we whisk you a Merry Kissmas".

    I'm doing baked goods again. I have family members and neighbors who don't think it's Christmas until they get my banana bread and cranberry orange bread. The year that I didn't make it, I heard from all of them about how it just wasn't Christmas without my goodies.

    I plan on making the candle with the picture transfer that Bev posted. I want to make one for my mil. We don't generally exchange gifts with anyone though and usually only buy for the children.

    Here's a few more. I will make some individual ornaments for the tree and I am hoping to make two complete garlands.
