Part 2 of Gifts Under $20

I love these decorative book boxes from Michaels.

How about a mug,some hot chocolate and some marshmellows.  
Also feel free to throw in a candy Cane as a stir stick.
Wrap it in clear plastic and tie it with pretty ribbon.
And who doesn't love home made goodies.  Make your favourite cookies ,microwave some fudge and put it on a Christmas plate,jar or tin.  Let your imagination run wild.

Easy home made Gifts under $20

If you are like me it is not buying for my immediate family that stressed me out as it is thinking of something small for teacher babysitters,neighbours and co-worker.
Well, again I have been visiting Michaels(I think they know me on a first name basis lol) and I have come up with some cool ideals that will be easy on your Christmas budget.
Also I should share some of my supplies are from Superstore and please to save money always check out your favourite discount Dollar store.

These are decorative books from Michaels with fragrant soaps and accent pinecone and candle.
The soap were from Winners. There was four in a set for $6.00.
 Does this look good or what?
I got the basket at Michaels for %50 off which made it $3.00
All items in the basket were $1.50 each but the candles were $5.99 for a set of 4,which i used my %40 off discount coupon that they have almost every week.
You can get it e-mailed to you are use your Michaels app.
This is a little decorative book i got at 60% off with a pretty frame tissue paper and candle.
This was under $10.

Easy and fun, Yes i made it ,Christmas Wreath

Have I mentioned Michael's crafts is one of my favourite places to shop.
I especially love the Country Village Rd N.E store.
I want to give a huge shout out to them.
They have been so helpful to me and go above and beyond to help out.
And they are so friendly.
Anyway" squirrelled "back to our Christmas Wreath.
Go to you guessed it Michaels and buy a wreath($10-$12)
Look down and you will see some great decoration ($1.49-$5.00)
The decorations are easy to attach and bam,you made a wreath.
Now your friends and family will see it and say "Wow thats beautiful where did you get that?"
and you get to say" heh"inside your head of course lol, not out loud and tell them you made it.
Than you sit back and enjoy their praise.
This is also a great project for the whole family to enjoy

Christmas decorating made fun easy and cheap,hallelujah

Ladies and gentlemen you are going to love this.
First step in to go right now and take a framed picture of your wall.
Yes you heard me right.
Now get out your pretty Christmas paper,scissor and green painters tape(this tape is the safest as it comes of easy.
Okay,wrap up your picture like it is a present you would put under the Christmas tree.
Add ribbon and a pretty bow.
Cut around the area that is used to hang it back up on the wall and bam you are ready to hang your new decoration back on your wall.

Infused with goodness Muffins

What do plain muffins and baby food have in common? 
They are the new peanut butter and jelly.
Infuse your plain muffin mix with many different combinations of squeezable baby food.
It adds great flavour with less work and it is so much fun your kids will want to help.

So get squeezing baby, mix ,bake and enjoy.
