Homemade Christmas Presents

I decided this year, that instead of buying all my Christmas presents, I would make as may as I could. I figured that this would be a really fun thing to do. It would be challenging, but economically fun. Later I decided, with the help of Grams, that I would use this epiphany of an idea for a Young Women project. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
So far, I'm about eight or nine hours into the project and I've only nearly finished one of my many little activies. Each activity is as personalized and easy as I can make it. For example cross stitching. Easy enough, and not too time consuming.
I'd love to post some pictures of my projects, if only my email wasn't a pain. It won't allow me to download my pics that I send from my phone, it used to, but it won't now. Anyway, I''l try my best to paint vivid pictures in you mind. So here goes...

For Mom, I'm making a cross-stiched pot holder. It's white with a pocket, that you could put your hand in, on the front. When I finish it it'll have two bunnies, one female and one male, on either side of heart. The bunnies will be wearing the same colors but in opposites mening that if the male is wearing a teal shirt with blue cover-alls the female will have teal dress with a blue shirt.

For Dad, I'm putting together a "Single Dad's Survivor Kit". It'll include everything you need to survive the single parents life, such as: air freshener, ear plugs, all-purpose clear, work gloves, flash light and my personal favorite, DUCT TAPE!

For Leanna, I'm putting together a "Triple Star Get A Way". It's based off the "triple star treatment" from the book Cages. It includes: a candle, pouff, lotion, body spray, shower gel, and chocolate! In the book it was a bag of six-pointed chocolate stars, but in this case it's M&M's. It's more for those times that she needs a break from the kids.

For Richard, it'll be a nautical fleece tie blanket. One side is red with ships, trophies, helms wheel, fish, light houses etc. The other side will be a darker plain blue.

I'd better stop there before I completely give away everything! Haha. Some other things on my list are: homemade calendars with family pictures, homemade CD's (Christmas or Family Favorites), and some other "I can't say what they are" items.
