Any idea's on a product I can hand make? Keep in mind I don't knit--I'm not artistic, so I need something simple. And, what charity should I send the money to? Thanks!

Its great to hear from you again. Do you bake? christmas tree or bell ginger biscuits are always a treat for the tree. They are easy to make and lots of fun to ice. You could give the proceeds to a church sponsored cause or bible in schools. (I'm just glad your back)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response though! From your reply, I had an idea for a charity: Salvation Army. Sound good? People: I need replied immedietely! The holidays are almost here! Thanks!

Tie it up with a ribbon or soemthing as a final touch. Apart from that, I dunno great idea, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors represented different things. Red-was the blood of Christ, black was sin, white was purity etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Massachusets yuppies love it. Course, unless you have a moose or a good friend willing to go collect it for you...... Honestly, buy some very simple colored ornaments from Wal-mart, glue and sparkles, beads, etc. and turn the kids loose. Grandmotherly types love hand made kid ornaments.

Melt the wax (from candles- now bashed) in an old pan when fully melted, pour into the moulds. Tie wick to a pencil and dangle it into the wet wax. Make sure the end (not tied to pencil) touches the bottom of the pot. Rest pencil over the pot until wax has hardened. When fully hardened and cool take out of mould. Decorate with stick on glittery bits. Wrap up in tissue paper and ribbon I have done it with children as young as 6! Do a trial yourself first so you can see how easy it is Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something like this could be used... Belly Button Blow Dryer: (ordinary flexible drinking straw attached to a card that you print: ) Instructions: Take a deep breath. Place one end of the dryer in mouth. Bend over. Place other end of dryer near belly button. Blow. Repeat if necessary. CAUTION: Do NOT inhale when dryer is near belly button. ******* Get a pipe cleaner and on the end attach some wooden beads. Attach a note card saying: "For the person who has Almost Everything." ****** Give 2 AA batteries and put them in a box with a note that says: "Gift Not included" ****** Take a small block of wood and glue it to a piece of paper that is labeled : HOME EXERCISER Directions: Place in the middle of the floor. Walk around it 2 times. Now Rest because you have just walked around the block 2 times. ****** A Little Dough Attach a bow to a roll of cookie dough with this card attached: We thought this would come in handy since everyone's a little short on dough around this time of year.
