Crafty Christmas ideas.........?
I have a 10 and a 6 year old who love making special gifts for Christmas. I have not been able to come up with that "perfect" craft for this year. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles all have everything they need and want and there is just no reason for us to spend money on some trinket that will be forgotten and collect dust. We have made.........flower pots with hand/footprints, candy, homemade cocoa with chocolate covered spoons, ornaments, picture frames, plates with pictures, personalize coasters, jewelry and a few others I am forgetting right now. If you have an idea of a Christmas craft that your family enjoys making, I would love for you to share. Please give me your best Christmas craft ideas! Thanks!!!!

HS Mom:  We made the mosiac stepping stones one year. The grandmas put them in their flower beds by their front doors. They have molds and kits at stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
