Another good thread! Thanks HG!!

1) For daughter...Lots of gift certificates to all the stores she loves!

2) For hubby...Someone to come in and do all the projects and work that need done on our house so that he could just sit back and relax!!!

3) My sisters house all cleaned up for her so she didn't have to look at the mess anymore!

4) Piece of mind and strength for my Mother in dealing with my mentally ill Father!

I have no clue but know I need to get started. I have lots of people to buy for. Dont have the money. I wish I was crafty and I could make things for people.

I wish there was less worry at x-mas time. My mother makes herself sick about buying presents.

1. Wish my mom peace.

Sandi...I have several ideas for easy, inexpensive crafts that anyone would enjoy receiving as a gift!
I posted a thread about making "Gratitude Journals" awhile back and will post some pics of them soon!

Another craft I enjoy making are glass magnets such as these...

{Hope that person doesn't mind me "borrowing" their picture!:mock LOL!}

They are so easy to make!
All you need are those little, round glass rocks that are flat on one side {some people put them in fishbowls}...You can buy a whole bag of them for a dollar or two in most craft supply stores, WalMart or Dollar General...just make sure to get the CLEAR kind and not the irredescent kind!
Small magnet "buttons" {I use 1/2" round ones}, Super glue {I use the "gel" kind}, Elmers or Tacky clear dry glue, scissors and lots of magazines, newspaper, etc!

I look through the magazines and find small things that I think would be interesting as a magnet {helps to hold one over it to see what it would look like!}, cut it out and glue to flat side of glass rock with Tacky glue and when it's dry, glue the magnet on with Super glue.

I just made a bunch to give as presents to all the girls in our family with stuff I cut out of Teen and Glamour mags...Also made some for daughter with a Victoria's Secret mag I got in the mail!
You could even do a tool theme or fishing for guys!

Hope ya'll don't think I'm weird posting this stuff but I know alot of people get stressed out this time of year {including myself!!} with trying to figure out what to get others and especially if money is tight. This is something everyone can make...it's theraputic too!! :-)
