Homemade Gift Making

busy, busy, busy....man do I ever feel busy!!! I thought I'd drop in for a quick post about another fun Holiday Memory we have here. Around Thanksgiving, all the A's names go into a hat. Then the A's choose a name, and make a gift for the chosen A. We started this a few years back, and it's been one of the best memories for the A's.
A6 will be making a present for A5, and I thought a Homemade Tutu would be great!! She will help me by choosing a pattern, and handing me the next strip to add to our tutu!

Here's a great clip, instructions, and photos, of what we will be making!
Now back to my cutting, I am hoping to get this all prepared, so we can finish it in the next few days.

    Thank you so much for giving links to all the great projects. I like that you are helping your children make presents for their siblings. What a great mom!

    I made the crayone cozy's and jingle balls. I also added lots of tags to the jingle balls. The cozys weren't quite enough a present from Grammy, so I made matching book covers for spiral bound drawing pads with carrying handles and a big pocket for the crayon cozy. I'll make the tutu idea for the upcoming girl birthdays this winter and spring.

    These are so easy to make, and cheap. I made one for all of my girls last year.

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...
