homemade gift ideas~

Well I haven't been around my blog much over the holiday weekend.... I have a good excuse honest!!!
Papa Bear had the week off, and since we don't get advantage of having Papa Bear around very often.... we took full advantage of him.
I had him hang some much needed shelving in the new learning area, and we made a semi-sewing area in my bedroom.
I want to make some homemade gifts for everyone this year. {We will see how this works}.
Here's a few ideas I am pondering over for some of my A's.....
A7 a jingle bell ball I saw this posted on homemade by Jill, she got the idea from grand revival.
{as a side note, I just finished making 2 of these, in about 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 mins}





LOVE these Black Apple Dolls again, saw these on homemade by Jill. The pattern is on Martha Stewart. These are a must, for A5 & A6

I have seen tons of cute ideas for A2 & A3, now for the older boys....hmmm
Any suggestions??
I've seen some cute matchbox car cozies, but A4 is probably too old for something like that.

    Thanks for the great post! I now know what to give my grandchildren for Christmas. The mothers tell me they have no more bookshelf space. Enough with the books already Grammy. Your ideas will be perfect. I'll go fabric shopping tonight.

    Marlina..I guess great minds think alike!! The reason I love these doll is you can personalize them so easily..
    Kate...in my opinion, you can never have too many books. Though Papa Bear, does like to mention the amount of books we own. Like everytime I want to move a bookcase, or a learning room!!

Sugar, oh sugar!!!

okay so as i have stated, we don't eat sugar. This being said, we do eat natural cane {also known as turbinado} sugar, honey, stevia and agava. I do try to limit this. I figure to some degree sugar is sugar, and not good, even in it's natural state. I don't want to get into a "sugar fight" with anyone! So all I am going to say, is it's quite common knowledge that sugar isn't good for you. I am a sugar lover! Always have been, I'm sure. I have a very, very, very sweet tooth. Sugar was hard for me to give up. Which is why I am so thankful for so many natural sweeteners! The reason we stopped, was knowledge, we started studying sugar, and learning about it, and we had to stop. As for our family, we had to give it up all or nothing, we are a cold turkey kind of family!!! We have tried to give up sugar, oh I don't know around 100 times!!! This time it finally stuck. The more I read, the more I study the more I am so thankful for that decision. So how di...

I haven't gotten anything yet on Balto, he's later into our unit, so I am not there yet!! We started it the day I purchased it, I was so excited to do it!!!

I will link you directly to the posts I stole, or I mean took my ideas from! {someone help, I forgot how to cross out words on my blog??!!??} I started with this, Download and Go Winter Wonders We are planning on extending these to the max!!
