Crafty Christmas

This year we are trying to downsize our Christmas. The last few years we have gone overboard and it just isn't in the budget this year. We are going to buy a few presents but try to make the rest. My kids have requested new rice bags this year (they are hot pads you warm up in the microwave; nice to snuggle up with on cold winter nights). Pillowcases for the nieces and nephews. I am also going to make a few aprons out of my grandma's embroidered flour sack dish towels. We have leftover 12x12 tiles from our bathroom project so I thought I would get some vinyl lettering and make some plaques,too! Since money is TIGHT I have been trying to use stuff I already have to make Christmas gifts. Christmas will be made with love this year.
