Time to start going through old magazines for ideas and inspiration.
Love paper clay...
The studio annex...also known as the original craft room, office, library and/or Tabitha's room.
Playing around with a chipboard book as this year's Christmas card idea.
Using up scraps of paper and images for gift tags.
I HAD to go to Michael's the other day. I hate going there but our locally owned Ben Franklin Craft store didn't have what I needed so I had to stop off at Michael's. I spied these tins and automatically put them in the cart. One dollar each and there were 6 of them. What am I going to do with them? I was thinking I could either make candles using the tins as containers or make some votives and stick a couple in the tin with a decorated match box. I am going to be making caramels so I could put them in the tins. Any other ideas?
I have more pics and ideas floating that need to get posted soon. What are you doing for Christmas/Solistice/whatever you celebrate gifts this year?

For the tins you could make really special cookies and stack them on top of each other.
At Christmas I try to give thoughtfull (cheap) gifts to the few adults I give presents to. In the last year or so I also try to make it usefull but luxurios (crap I can't spell) items. Stuff they wouldn't normally get for themselves but that won't be sitting around and junking up thier houses in years to come.
Wow! You are quick. I know what you mean about useful but special presents. I want stuff to get used and enjoyed and not clutter up someone's space. I thought about cookies, but I have some other plans for those. Hopefully I will get it all together. -t
I've been crocheting and sewing... so lot's of scarves, hats, and simple goodies... so far. Cookies would stack nicely in those tins.
I like the idea of making them into candles. I love gift tags out of old cards and such, too. Can't wait to see them!
I'm not sure what I'm doing this year. I was thinking maybe home roasted coffee for one. That isn't suitable for my girls, however. I always hand make a Christmas gift and I'm kind of stuck on what to do this year!
