(this is a fun little gift for friends, too!)
With the Christmas season upon us, many of you are heading to holiday parties and get-togethers with friends. With so many things to do (so many, right?!), it is easy to forget a little gift for your hostess. Clearly, no hostess is
expecting a gift, but it is nice to be able to bring a little something to say
thank you for all of the work she has undoubtedly put into the gathering.
My advice is to put together a little batch of these gifts to make it easy on yourself to grab and go. The premise is very simple - cute napkins, ribbon, a few decorations, a little stamping - done. These napkin gifties take minutes to put together, and are easy on your pocket. (LESS THAN $10!!)
Here's how to make them...
Stringing cranberries for Christmas trees is a tradition that probably began back in the 1840's with the earliest Americans who decorated their trees with fruits, nuts, and candies. I prefer a simply decorated tree - some white lights and some sentimental ornaments are all I really want or need. This year, I thought it would be fun to sit down with the kids, listen to Christmas music, and celebrate traditions past by making our own cranberry garland.
Here's how we did it...
