Everyone seems to like them. I agree that is what makes the holidays special.<br />My mom always made me new clothes, doll clothes, or something. Everything she cooked was from scratch.................oh I can almost smell all the cookies.<br />Those were the days!<br />Have a wonderful day.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-87318375165918415532016-10-28T12:36:00.203-04:002016-10-28T12:36:00.203-04:00Hello!

One yard made each girl an apron and I can just squeak out a matching doll apron I think. I have one sewn, and it turned out really cute. One is pink with cupcakes and glitter, and the other two *for twins* are pale aqua with cupcakes and glitter. Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without some homemade presents. Oh, my pattern was an old ugly apron I picked up for 50 cents at Salvation Army because it was small sized and made a perfect pattern!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11350507395273876676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-50574352162561740412016-10-28T12:14:17.644-04:002016-10-28T12:14:17.644-04:00Thanks and you are welcome dear girl.

Every year I stock up at the after Christmas sales and get those plastic goodies bags that are shaped like gingerbread men, Santa, ornaments, etc. I use those to give cookies and homemade candy in. Last year I found a deal on the Ziplock storage containers and used those, along with cupcake liners to make assorted boxes of homemade candies. Those were a huge hit! Years ago I did themed gift baskets for each family on my husband's side (before things got so bad). I did a tea themed basket in an pretty British tin with assorted teas, some pretty teacups, homemade pancake mix and homemade syrup. Another basket held 2 champagne glassed, a bottle of sparkling cider, homemade pancake mix and homemade syrups. The last one had coffee mugs, some homemade coffee mixes, pancake mix and homemade syrup. I got all the glassware,cups and mugs, baskets, the tins and the cloth napkins to line the baskets at the thrift store. I mixed up the pancake mix from ingredients that I got on sale and made the syrup. The presentation was beautiful and the gifts were practical and ones that I knew the recipients would enjoy.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-13878218305370125152016-10-26T18:13:43.049-04:002016-10-26T18:13:43.049-04:00Oh Laurie I am sorry for putting you in stress mod...Oh Laurie I am sorry for putting you in stress mode!
