It's a Tea Party: Sharing our Favorite DIY Gift Projects

nospam@example.com () — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:25:57 -0800

Yes, I'm stuffed! But I know if I don't begin to at least "think" about some Christmas projects, I'll never move from in front of this computer. So I'm "thinking" that I always, always intend to make my own gift baskets instead of picking up those little packages of cheese & crackers or coffee or tea baskets that are outrageously priced for what is put into them. What I need is some inspiration to get me away from my cuppa tea. Do you have fave projects you might want to share? Let's hear them!!!
Personally, I like projects that are suitable to do with children and that offer options for gifting that include most all of the relationships in my life -- you know, something for the teachers, the postman, the sister-in-laws, my fave nurse, even the guys. Gift baskets probably best fill that need. ( After all I love to receive them).

Here are four things to consider when it comes to saying "I Love You"...
