Last Minutes Gifts!

Need some last minute gifts and don't want to get out in the insanity again!  Try these gifts you can put together from ingredients you may already have in your kitchen!

I really love making homemade gifts.  There's just something about creating things someone else will enjoy.

The pictures are mostly self explanatory, but I'll include the link for the salsa and scrub, so you can whip some last minute goodies for yourself!

Black Bean Salsa

with

Homemade Corn Chips

You haven't tasted chips till you make your own!  Cut corn tortillas with pizza cutter, heat oil, drop in and cook for about a minute.  Remove and place on paper towels to drain.  While still hot, salt to taste.  Yummo!

This is so delish!  Very easy to make and so colorful.  Lots of chopping, but a food processor can become your best friend.  If you want a little more heat, just add one more jalapeno pepper.

Almond Bark Popcorn

I mean, it doesn't get any easier than this!  Melt the almond bark, pop the corn, pour it over, stir, spread it out to dry and bag it!

I added a cute little candy cane for decoration, then printed the story of the candy cane on business cards.



Brown Sugar Foot Scrub

(you could eat this!)

I had this sweet little 'K' in my stock of stickers. This gift is for my sister and her name just happens to start with a 'K'......

Check out your kitchen to see if you have some last minutes gifts to make!!

Have a wonderful Christmas! 

Hugs,

I'm linking to these great parties!

Is it Christmas Already!!

I cannot believe Christmas is in a couple of days.

Just in case you need a last minute gift,
(or stocking stuffer)
I want to share a couple I put together.

Soaps from Pier 1 on clearance

Bath salts and some extra things left

 from the Christmas decorating.

Tie a bow and embellish!

Aren't they cute?  And who wouldn't like to bathe in

White Champaka, Exotic Cinnamon or Dark Chocolate?

This little project was fun to do.  These are clear

balls made for crafting.

I used the same left over decorating supplies.

Remove the hanger and funnel the salts in the ball.

 I sat them in a muffin pan for stability.

Replace the hanger (or hook) and decorate.

Now these little guys are heavy and I don't

think they would hang on the tree.  But they

look really cute sitting by the tub.  Yes, because

they're heavy, they will sit and not rock.

Just a little personal note. 

 My granddaughter is in there! Her name is Abigale and she is

 keeping us in suspence!  As her sister said to her in a letter,

"You'll really like it out here in the world.

  Mommy and Grammy are very nice."

We're waiting for you Abi...

When the presents have all been opened,
when we have eaten our fill of holiday food and
the last child has been tucked in for the night,
remember why we celebrated in the first place.

  Have Joyous Christmas!
