I'm always so excited to see what my blog buddies have come up with next, when I log in, and rarely am I ever disappointed in new posts to read. With Christmas less than 2 weeks away, time is of the essence. Time to finish decorating, shopping, wrapping, and, of course, crafting.
Is there enough time left? Who knows. I have my first get together next weekend. I think I'm done. I finished last night, and have decided that despite the other ideas I have floating around in my head, that's it. Each of my 3 nieces, and 1 nephew have a gift. My mom has a gift. The rest of us don't exchange gifts individually. We each bring a wrapped ornament, and we blindly pick the package we want, then we can trade with someone who picked before us.
I digressed, didn't I? I do that a lot.
Here are some ideas I found on blogs, and around the net, for last minute items to make for Christmas. Enjoy!

There you have it! Some great frugal gifts to give this year, or crafts to make, or items just to have on hand!

So many fantastic ideas. The boys and I began working with clay outside this afternoon. My three-year-old was the only one, who finished though. I simply became too impatient with the clay, and I think it was drying out too fast outside. Next attempt will definitely be made indoors.
It helps to have water on hand, and wet your fingers as you work with it, so it won't dry out too fast.
