I read on someone's blog where they were vowing to make next Christmas all homemade...whether made by her, or bought homemade from someone else. I loved the idea! (I apologize for not remembering which blog I read it on)
I am creating this page with a linky for all to share homemade. I am NOT making this blog post exclusive. Please share posts from anywhere! If you write posts on hubpages, etc with instructions on hand made gifts, link it. If you build squidoo lenses with instructions on homemade gifts, link it. If you write them on gather, link them. You may link directly to your stores with hand made items such as at etsy, zibbet, and other. Also, as you make hand made gifts and post about them, link those as well.
Let's make this a successful linky! I want to come in and find lots of great ideas all throughout the year. I am starting NOW on gifts for 2012. Please refer others too as you see these types of posts throughout the year.
What a great idea - this will be a super resource for those of us who prefer to create our gifts!

Thank you for the link up! I love having it all in one spot :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this linky Marsha =)
ReplyDeleteI got some great ideas from this linky! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I hope you continue with it this year, because it is so nice to see so many great projects in one spot!
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet, knit and sew! It is so much fun to see how creative others can get too!
ReplyDeleteI really love photography....we went on a cruise to Alaska in August, and I took close to 1,000 photos. I've gotten creative and doing all sorts of things with them.....have been making refrigerator magnets, getting canvas art wall hangings made, I even created my own Alaska Trip photo album on Shutterfly. Then, I created 4 or 5 different kinds of Christmas photo cards this year to send out to family and friends....they turned out great, using photos I took on the cruise. I got hubby a fleece blanket with a photo of our little DeeOGee puppy.....it's so adorable!
ReplyDeleteToday we were thrift store shopping, and I found the neatest idea....using plain vases, use pretty colored napkins and cup them up....then glue all around the vase, let dry and then decoupage/ModPodge to seal.........I saw a couple finished Christmas vases, and they're just gorgeous! You can buy them for little or nothing at thrift stores and get pretty napkins at dollar stores! For some friends, I bought inexpensive picture frames and then put some of my favorite photos in them (of Alaska)....they make the neatest, "one of a kind" gifts.
Yeah, it's really sad, that the great days of refunding are pretty much gone.
Oh...and you can also get some inexpensive baskets and maybe paint them, and put different things in them and wrap with cellophane....they are really fun to put together!
