Christmas Flashback - 2008 & 2009

Approaching Year 3 for Homemade Christmas. I love, love, love that my family supports this idea! It has been so rewarding for a number of reasons. The siblings on both of our family sides exchange handmade gifts. Here is a flashback of past gifts I've given. Homemade Granola Cereal.
Chocolate Chip Granola BarsFriendship Soup Mix, with Cornbread Mix
And Coasters! I can't wait to pull my gifts together for this year!
Gifts that we have received: Candles, Paintings, Christmas Wall Hangings, Candied Nuts, Pancake Mixes, Spiced Tea Mixes, a Draft Dog, eco-friendly home cleaning kit. I'll post my Christmas gift after the holiday!

Your gifts are all so cute and creative. We also do homemade gifts (mostly). I've been working on mine since August, and they still aren't completed.
