I'm painting tote bags for the Holidays for friends and coworkers. I'll also bake a bunch of cookies for neighbors and acquaintances. I don't know how much time I'll have to work on other painting projects but if I get them done for the holidays, I'll post them. And, of course, I made my Holiday card (30 of them) to send out.
My mom hosts a Pampered Chef party once a year (tomorrow night) and I buy a lot of Christmas presents through that. This year I'll buy the ladies in the family 2 oven mitts and some baking hardware and the men will get grilling tools. I hate Holiday shopping so this is very easy for me!

Great topic Cr8ive. I'll post my pictures as I make the gifts. I'm making name frames for my nieces and nephew with their favorite Disney characters on them. I also have a recipe for bath salts that I'm going to make. I got cute little jars at a yard sale to put the bath salts in. I'm going to dress up the jars. I'll post pictures when I finish them.

I belong to a group of seven women and we exchange gifts every year. Last year I spent the whole year searching the Internet for such ideas and recipes. I put together a book of more than 100 recipes, placed each page in a page protector so you could remove it if you wanted to, placed the title page on stock and put it in the sleeve on the front of the binder. And a title sheet down the end so you could see it on the shelf. I then put them in a three-ring binder and Called it "Gifts From The Heart And Hearth" There were several sections in it. Beverages, Soups, Cakes, etc. And there was a whole section on containers and decorating ideas. Even where you could find the necessary supplies. With links. All totalled there were more than 175 pages. I printed out six of them, shipped them off and didn't bother to print one out for myself. Even though I had bought a binder and had enough page-protectors for my own book. I could just go to the computer and look up what I needed. Right after that my computer crashed big time and I lost everything. (Note to self: BACKUP STUPID) So one of the women has graciously offered to take her's apart and send me the pages so I can scan them into my brand new computer. Bless her great big heart.
