Hannie wanted to make some gifts for her friends and we needed some gifts for some tween and teen cousins, so we sat down one afternoon and made a couple of presents. Felt bow rings for Hannie's friends and a necklace and ring set for the cousins.

We got 20 ring backs for about $5 (they are even cheaper in larger ... View the Post
$5 Christmas: Placemats
I am making up the 98 cents today. These placemats cost $4 and look like they cost a lot more. {Don't you love projects like that?} I used these placemats from the dollar store that I walked by several times and then finally went back to pick them up.

(And they have a list of all of their games, the rules and needed supplies HERE. The list is huge and there are tons of fun ... View the Post
$5 Christmas: A Christmas Tree Skirt
Ok...I am breaking the bank on the first day. Sorry. This project actually cost me $5.98 for the drop cloth, I had everything else. But, I promise I will make up the 98 cents.....next time! The inspiration for this tree skirt came from this Pottery Barn pillow which I think is darling and the drop cloth idea from Miss Mustard Seed. Although I thought hers ruffle tree skirt was a drop cloth--it's not, it's linen--that was my failure to read ;) The other funny thing is I had remembered ... View the Post
