My to-do-list is giving me the evil eye. It reminds me of the Geico commercial where the stacked money has little plastic eyeballs on the top of it and; "Somebody's Watching Me", plays in the background.
I have so much work to do before I attend the Craft & Hobby Show in Anaheim, CA, at the end of this month. The trip should be exciting and will hopefully open new doors for me to showcase my crafting talents. Crossing my fingers!
This is one of my favorite homemade gifts. It is very inexpensive, unique, and so simple. Purchase a Wire Suet Feeder & Suet Cake at your local bird feeding store, hardware store, or online at Duncraft.com
Decorate the front of the Suet Feeder with faux pine branches, twine, and floral picks. The gift recipent can remove the decorations off the front and then hang their winter bird feeder outside for the birds to enjoy!
No need to wrap this present just decorate the front! A Guide to Bird Feeding Book is the perfect addition to this gift.
It is not about the money spent; but rather about the thought and time that goes into gifts this holiday season.
Here are some easy inexpensive gifts to make for your loved ones, neighbors, teachers, and co-workers.

Here is a wonderful easy gift! Makes a perfect hostess gift or co-worker gift. I purchased small little bottles of olive oil at Big Lots for $1.50. I emptied the oil into a measuring cup placed dried red peppers inside and then put the oil back in. The oil is wonderful to cook with, use on sandwiches, or in salads.
