Christmas Gifts Part 1

Now that the first round of Christmas parties are past, I can “safely” post the gifts that I made =)

Tuesday night the ladies at church had a Christmas party.  The “rules” were a gift for $10 or less.  So, I made a note card holder.

It was made from fabric I had in my stash, so no money spent there.

 

I filled it with some note cards/ greeting cards and included a gift card to Starbucks.  After all, who doesn’t enjoy coffee?  The holder is small enough to fit in your purse and is closed with an elastic binder and button.

Last night we had our Sunday School Christmas party.  The “rules” were to spend $5 or less on a gift.  Again, I used what I had in my stash…

A set of four Christmas tree napkins.

 

And a snowflake ornament.

Now it’s time to move onto the presents for family.  Some of the things I won’t post until after Christmas though =)

For the dessert I brought to the party, check out this post.

Advent Wreath

I know it’s a bit too early to start thinking about Christmas, but as I was going through my Christmas items, I realized I didn’t have an Advent wreath.  So, a trip to the craft store and lots of hot glue later, I now have an Advent wreath =)

And then I decided to try out some ornaments for my MOP’s group ornament project.

 

Not sure which one I like better.  Both of these were pre- packaged kits available at most craft stores.
