Simple Gifts: Bath Salts

August 10, 2011 By Jeanne 4 Comments

Bath salts are a very easy, very lovely gift to make and give. With simple ingredients, homemade bath salts can be easily customized to any theme or occasion, depending on your jar size and shape as well as what essential oils you choose. I love giving mine as bridal shower or baby shower gifts. Packaged in smaller bottles, they can easily be made into wedding favors too! What You Need: • 5 pounds Epsom salts (can be found at your local pharmacy or health store) • 50-100 drops of essential … [read more...]

Over the past few weeks I've been trying to come up with gift ideas for Mother's Day. Thinking of a unique gift was easier as a child when I could make her some cool macaroni art or tissue paper flowers and she would love it! Now that I'm an adult, those simple kid crafts no longer apply. Instead of buying her real flowers or jewelry (typical mother's day gifts), I decided this year to give my mom a more functional gift, something I know she will use. My mom loves to cook. Every time I visit her … [read more...]

Heart-shaped baked goods aren't just for Valentine's Day. You can prepare them throughout the year to let your friends and family know that you love them. In fact, Mother's Day is right around the corner, and this recipe for heart-shaped handheld pastries is the perfect gift to express all of the gratitude you feel toward your mom this year. If you don't want to make the crust from scratch, you can purchase pre-made pie crusts from your grocery store (the kind that comes in a box), and cut the … [read more...]

Plus, once you know how to make the bath salts and soap, you can make them anytime at all. You could even make them for yourself! Shhhh . . . don't tell! This is a fun gift to make, especially with friends or for friends … [read more...]

Custom Photo Coasters

April 15, 2010 By Jeanne 1 Comment

These are my grandsons! It’s just amazing what a little effort will do. I now have these terrific coaster mementos of my grandsons, Caden and Dylan, which will make great party decorations as well. I made them in about five minutes (of my time) using the new style of the month called “Custom Style”. If you think about “Custom Style” you can become very intimidated because it is totally blank. First you look at all that blankness and think, “maybe some other time” because it seems … [read more...]
