Quick and inexpensive xmas presents



I was thinking long and hard what Jer and I could give away as handmade presents this year. You see, Jer's family is fairly big (6 uncles and aunts, and each of them has 2 kids, plus grandparents, mom, dad, stepmom, stepdad, just to name a few). So by the time xmas rolls around we are usually so broke that our presents to each other are reduced to stocking stuffers. The year before last, we decided to start making handmade presents. A little something for the adults that is from the heart but doesn't leave us stranded. In prior years we made soaps and candles, last year we gave away tons of tile coasters and this year we decided to make frames with pictures. So here is the result. I think it took me longer to edit the photos in photoshop and print them than to put the pattern paper and the ribbon on the frames. And the best, the frames were a bargain and can be found at Michaels. So if you are still struggeling to find presents... a quick, easy, and handmade alternative.
Enjoy!!!
