While you may not want to be thinking about Christmas just yet, it really is only a couple months away. Now is a great time to start budgeting, if you haven’t already. If you are able to set aside some extra monies this month and next, your holiday expenses will be so much easier to manage.

Going to help the kiddo make soap. I’m making pompom garlands for my god daughters. Some jam or applesauce and basil salt (we are over flowing with basil and lemon basil in the garden).
Great ideas!
I love giving homemade gifts! Over the years I’ve done pumpkin bread, spiced nuts, caramels, truffles, hard lotion bars, chapstick, body butter, peppermint marshmallows, hot chocolate mix, cookies, fantasy bars (homemade snickers), peppermint hand soap, and vanilla. I adore making gift baskets with assortments of all kinds of things.
Wow! You’ve made some amazing things. The people on your list are very lucky, indeed!
I’ve received so many great ideas from your blog, I thought I would share this idea. In our family we love homemade gifts. This year, I’m making an assortment of spice mixes and putting them in cute small jars. I’ll also include a bundle of recipes that can be used with those mixes. Jars of any size are available online, but you can also use baby food jars and pretty them up with ribbons or scrapbook paper.
Great idea!
This year, since we were overflowing will various peppers, I made and canned jalapeño jelly!
Sounds yummy!
