<br />
We have eleven adorable grandchildren. Times even $10.00 each is $110. I like to give them something meaningful for Christmas. Last year I gave them AC books from Walgreens, there is a post about it, but these books were ABC books featuring each of them. I worked on them for several months - they all loved them.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine just sent me a link for another idea that I think I am going to do. <a href="http://www.inkgarden.com/">http://www.inkgarden.com/</a> type in pillowcases to see the project I am choosing. There are lots more things there that would be so great for Christmas gifts. <br />
<br />
This is the kind of a thing I can start in August and get it ready for them. If you go to retail.net or type in coupon ink garden you can get some coupons for big savings.<br />

I made these ornament sfor gift tags for our g-kids gifts this year - they turned out so cute!

I saw a picture of this and wanted to make it for my niece who was getting married. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

APOLOGIES - I am getting ready to paint so their are a few brushes of paint on the sides of this picture - I MISS PICNIC to crop pictures!!!!!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><u>Step One</u></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dug out my Christmas Scraps and I have enough to make like10 of these if I wanted to do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out 24 squares and pieced them together like a mini quilt. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimq9bI3cGwrYYYOLanssZF8-MtwZZReiTVqDKAeQgcbuVpjxxDchBuNanukjQ5LNbGanbTvQjYpzN4aDJo1v-eyUY2P6kGWiAQuBkozlZwvcgz5CUkz63Vh41Nlmk_285dYxzszLQfDRDX/s1600/side+yard+sept+7+2012+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimq9bI3cGwrYYYOLanssZF8-MtwZZReiTVqDKAeQgcbuVpjxxDchBuNanukjQ5LNbGanbTvQjYpzN4aDJo1v-eyUY2P6kGWiAQuBkozlZwvcgz5CUkz63Vh41Nlmk_285dYxzszLQfDRDX/s320/side+yard+sept+7+2012+002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em><u>Step Two</u></em></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I put a back on it - like a mini quilt and ironed it well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_dIDURf7NvZkKrUKZUo1njMkbWWD3x4zpVfsTw-C90C46xAQSbjnMjP6ixRRiJXUpt7mtfjDuQHfPwgSaBanjLl7k_mZz5xRirkSld-_E-g5Zt3nVqtOaW5dRWkmHZXSKMml_eTWGqjwd/s1600/side+yard+sept+7+2012+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_dIDURf7NvZkKrUKZUo1njMkbWWD3x4zpVfsTw-C90C46xAQSbjnMjP6ixRRiJXUpt7mtfjDuQHfPwgSaBanjLl7k_mZz5xRirkSld-_E-g5Zt3nVqtOaW5dRWkmHZXSKMml_eTWGqjwd/s320/side+yard+sept+7+2012+003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em><u>Step Three</u></em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I turned the corners down once</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyybbbMfDN8WniuZJWIBnWaG84jAgk6xqbawdsu34Vn4lFAO-Hyc3gLr4U4Bn9Uxfs-F-QiJCRVB_cSIQrYKtHoIQwJGinUvdQsBEWRkqkKmK-IXfVcOpfRUSGzLEj-FUYnIQg2VaHv_M/s1600/side+yard+sept+7+2012+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyybbbMfDN8WniuZJWIBnWaG84jAgk6xqbawdsu34Vn4lFAO-Hyc3gLr4U4Bn9Uxfs-F-QiJCRVB_cSIQrYKtHoIQwJGinUvdQsBEWRkqkKmK-IXfVcOpfRUSGzLEj-FUYnIQg2VaHv_M/s320/side+yard+sept+7+2012+004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em><u> Step Four</u></em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turned the corners over again, ironed and stiched them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihjdf-N6w4Bq75-KPDw1mqF-yxpN9iSVneKDU2Ezr1dvHTR_kVeJQKq0aXzSOmjLTJ4rrq7SJpv0eq5njqTIVdjuEwy285l8WMDFbv7yZWk_rZXM6f579eRFfZeCpB9R0ltedcUerDUpIF/s1600/side+yard+sept+7+2012+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihjdf-N6w4Bq75-KPDw1mqF-yxpN9iSVneKDU2Ezr1dvHTR_kVeJQKq0aXzSOmjLTJ4rrq7SJpv0eq5njqTIVdjuEwy285l8WMDFbv7yZWk_rZXM6f579eRFfZeCpB9R0ltedcUerDUpIF/s320/side+yard+sept+7+2012+005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

This is how it looks from the right side</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><u><strong>Step Five</strong></u></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a dinner plate and traced a circle on a piece of fleece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut a cirlde of cardboard and then cut it in half. (Saving the other half for another Santa) Then I covered the cardboard and glued the fleece on. Blushed up the cheeks with some red paint, added eyes, a wooden nose and glasses bent from a hanger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glued everything on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had made the day before yo-yo's with a perler bead in the middle, while watching a movie so they were ready to go. I made 5 bigger yo yo's and 20 smaller ones. A big yo yo is the bauble on the top of the hat. Then there are 4 that go across for the brim and one in the middle of the beard at the chin. The rest just fit in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to my Christmas Blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked at the Christmas Countdown and saw that we have 108 days until Christmas! That means it is time to dust off the Christmas Planning Calendar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been so busy being a grandma that I haven't done a lot of anything else for a while, (we had 7 babies in 2 1/2 years). I am getting caught up and ready to get my routine back and enjoy all these little people that surround me in my life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am challenging you right now to take a few minutes and make a rough draft of what you want to do for Christmas. What people you are buying or making gifts for, decor you want to do and activities you would like to add to your Holiday Celebration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Don't overplan!!!!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The gift I am making right now are ABC books for the seven oldest grandchildren. I went to <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/">www.Walgreens.com</a> and created books there. I have tons of pictures and I found several for each letter of the alphabet for each child and made them there own ABC book featuring them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are adorable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have them complete and everytime Walgreens has a 40% off coupon for books I order a couple. I made 32 pages for each of them. With the 40% off coupon with shipping each book is going to cost about $23.00. You can do less pages of course. If you do 20 pages your cost would be about $10.00 less. Also if you pick them up from the store (they have to be under 30 pages to do that) the shipping is free. (p.s. I don't get any kind of kick back from Walgreens!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope these are treasures they keep all of their lives. They are literally a history of all the activities they did with me and my husband during the past year.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjwLiVnyT2pmBawSn_MLTmfUus3IAzWvgbyt25sqBZw96O8CitgTOET0UTFD8T7ArRkjCLapNmElpYub3in4nD9u4K0jd4iC7QeSkqbCoqW3oqyr9S8LSC0sf0Mo6Yknq5zUM4oNy-W-0/s1600/book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjwLiVnyT2pmBawSn_MLTmfUus3IAzWvgbyt25sqBZw96O8CitgTOET0UTFD8T7ArRkjCLapNmElpYub3in4nD9u4K0jd4iC7QeSkqbCoqW3oqyr9S8LSC0sf0Mo6Yknq5zUM4oNy-W-0/s320/book.jpg" width="304" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by! Thanks for being so patient with me for the last little while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to add a post several times a week through December.</div>

Here are a couple of her wreaths she sells on Etsy. She will be adding more in the next day or so. Her shop is called "Goldieshine Design"</div><br />

I am normally decorated by now but we have had so much going on - it just hasn't worked. I decorated the Master Bedroom and one of the guest rooms last week and Saturday brought all the boxes up for the rest of the rooms in the house. I decided I would try and do a couple of rooms a day so I can do the other things I need to get done this week. I should be done by the end of the week....I love decorating, I love the lights and the ambience it all brings. YIPPEE! I will post pix as I decorate.</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is part of the Santa Collection - I wish it looked as good in the pix as it does in person. There are all kinds of Santa's here - homemade, store bought, some out of TP tubes, some crocheted, some are wood, some are fabric. . I used to have the spread out through the house but the collection had grown so much I decided to give it a place of it's own. </div><div style="text-align: center;">There are over 50 Santa's in my little collection - each one near and dear to me. <br />
The little Santa with a bobble on the top is from a round dowel my dad used to put in custom closets. One of our daughters took it and made a Santa from it - isn't it adorable!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6VDTbjKMOZ4I3HujuV8okgCNEAkEwPGFtfq7bHPo4Jubz6J08SjTz3wWNdCst9APoZPAz9z_qimhOa0A3nhEa1iQcki-D6ZSD0ojyn5GdCUyK6o3H_mFyh5s4o6R6NXnjX6fiaqopslMS/s1600/santa%2527s+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6VDTbjKMOZ4I3HujuV8okgCNEAkEwPGFtfq7bHPo4Jubz6J08SjTz3wWNdCst9APoZPAz9z_qimhOa0A3nhEa1iQcki-D6ZSD0ojyn5GdCUyK6o3H_mFyh5s4o6R6NXnjX6fiaqopslMS/s320/santa%2527s+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Frugal Santa Gift<br />
I made this Santa out of tin cans one year for Christmas from my friends - it was a very frugal year and I had to get creative! All you do is cover the can with fabric, Cut and curl muslim scraps for the beard. I made a hat out of a square of fabric and painted on the face with flesh paint and used the end of the brush for the eyes and then dabbed on his cheeks...they really turned out cute! Always when I see it a reminder of being helped by Heavenly Father when I really needed some help. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCp8691ERD0ctFyZV70ikhoIhuJaP-kgbsY7lXBNDKybATs93s4nCA41mDUat5wkGWjxboC6LlRTEM1IXvBiTS7FrUWulvRWVp4zkUd03AMZo4ZT44H9XD6QHDTfiYQTessivg1kt5BsL9/s1600/santa%2527s+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCp8691ERD0ctFyZV70ikhoIhuJaP-kgbsY7lXBNDKybATs93s4nCA41mDUat5wkGWjxboC6LlRTEM1IXvBiTS7FrUWulvRWVp4zkUd03AMZo4ZT44H9XD6QHDTfiYQTessivg1kt5BsL9/s320/santa%2527s+002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This Santa is from Russia - one of our girls was on a mission there for our church brought it home. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It is a stacking Santa. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBmwC6GivN0SIK47ybCMlF-IAnn0Z5s3nJJ-NLbQjBlrjwjW2yyi0dvnJVd7uORdMMFo9qo6-ke73vyZUJxJBNe1hszs1O3F-xFnZ_kffTuJzNLFp-XXKkp_UTLKBrxi4TW4g10PF9FLlz/s1600/santa%2527s+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBmwC6GivN0SIK47ybCMlF-IAnn0Z5s3nJJ-NLbQjBlrjwjW2yyi0dvnJVd7uORdMMFo9qo6-ke73vyZUJxJBNe1hszs1O3F-xFnZ_kffTuJzNLFp-XXKkp_UTLKBrxi4TW4g10PF9FLlz/s320/santa%2527s+003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> This Santa is one that my mom had.

What I am doing this week.Yikes! I am looking at my calendar and realizing that 11 weeks from today is Christmas! I have been out in the garden harvesting, canning, and enjoying the lovely weather we have had. Once it snows here, it is cold until April so I love being out in the Fall. That being said it is time to get really serious here! <br />

We get to do things for the people in our lives that we love. I think that is why Christmas is so delightful - we get to serve others, think of the things they would love and present our love to them in presents. I love that!<br />

What I am doing this week: <u><strong><em>Finding a couple gift for our kids.</em></strong></u><br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Starting next week I will show some of the projects I am working on.

Christmas 2011 is in about 18 weeks. I have started making my lists and already checking them twice!<br />
My challenge to you the reader is to start your basic lists for gifts, activities, and decorations.<br />
I have 18 people in our family that I need to do gifts for. If I do one per week - I can get it taken care of easily by Christmas. I also want to to stockings and we have matching pajama's. Planning like this makes it easy and fun to do Christmas economically and stress free.<br />
Thanks for stopping by - I will post some ideas in September. <br />
Have a great August! <br />

I still have up our decorations - probably will leave them up during January. We have long dark nights and the lights are so cheery and help to sooth the winter darkness. I wanted to share two things with you as I wish you a wonderful 2011.<br />
<br />
I had a bunch of stockings left over from when the kids were little, from service projects, from gifts, and the stocking from when I was little. I had exactly 24 of of them. I made numbers and made a clothesline on our stairs to the basement and turned them into an countdown putting up one each day from Dec. 1-14. I love them! <br />
<br />

We have a little forgotten corner in our basement landing. It is the end of a little hall that leads to a bathroom and the storage area's. But it is a cute little corner. I had a couple of Christmas things left and my goal this year was to use everything and what didn't get used was given to someone who could use it. I had our five year old grandson with me when I went downstairs to get something. He looked at the corner and said, "Oh Grandma Mimmi Sugar Ball Miss ( I don't know why he callse me all these names but I love it!) Everyplace is so Christmasy Cute!" All of the work and hassel of decorating our house for Christmas is worth it. He knows I love Christmas - he knows I love the reason for Christmas is the birth of a precious baby in a manger in Bethlehem that changed my life when I accepted Him as my Savior, he knows and he is five and it is all worth it. Here is the corner. <br />

Just fill a pot with water, add your favorite ingredients and simmer all day. This also helps humidify the home a bit. <br />
The recipes below are just guidelines, you can use different amounts and mix up ingredients as you like. Experiment to find your favorite smells.<br />
Save: orange, lemon and lime peels, apple skins (dry them out first before storing in a container)<br />
Frugal idea: For apple juice, cranberry juice, herbs and spices that are outdated, don’’t throw out––just add to your simmering pot. You can refrigerate your simmering recipe and reuse daily for up to one week. Just keep adding water as needed.<br />
Directions: Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the ingredients from your favorite recipe, boil for a few minutes, then turn the heat down to simmer all day. Top up water as needed.<br />
Caution: Set your timer for 30 minutes so you remember to top up with water. You don’’t want the pot burning dry. Do not leave the house with this left heating on the stove.<br />
