And.....we're ready!!!!

  I can't believe that it is Christmas Eve Eve!!! Whaaaat???? I know...it has crept up on me...and I finally, FINALLY finished everything today...I think. My hands are raw from wrapping so many gifts (o.k...that may be a slight exageration...but they ARE dry and cracked..), but they are done and all placed under our fantabulous Christmas tree!!! One less thing on my To-Do Before Christmas list!!

   I decided that this Christmas I was going to make a couple of gifts...who doesn't love a nice homemade gift that comes from the heart?!?! I decided to make each of our family members a monogram mat for their homes. It's so simple, yet looks so fantastic!!!! I also made some for the ladies at work and they were a hit!!! Gift-making success???, I think so!!

  I also wanted to make something for the Hubster, K and I, but it had to be something useful!! I decided on making tumbler cups for us (see previous post on Mr. D's gift!!). We bought K a really cool popcorn machine for Christmas (and some extra kernels and flavouring to put on it) so I thought that it would be awesome if we each had our own cup with a sleeve to go on it to match our personalities. I then filled them with candy, and Voila!!!..we have cool cups to go along with popcorn/movie night!

  I'm excited this year...I think everyone will be thrilled with their gifts..bought and homemade!!! Does anyone else out there make some of their gifts??? I would love to hear your ideas...there's nothing quite like the feeling of giving, especially when it comes from the heart!
