Merry Christmas!

                                 Merry Christmas!! 
Merry Christmas, everybody! Here's a fun Christmas post:

Gift ideas:
For a baby: I always make the Christmas presents I give, but I couldn't find any suggestions for Christmas presents for my baby sister. Well, I finally came up with my own suggestions:
                                    Knit or sew a tiny teddy bear 
                                    Knit or sew a blankey
                                    Make a rag doll
                                    
Sorry! That's all I could think of. (I'm making my baby sister a tiny teddy bear.)

  Ideas for kids presents: Glue pretty buttons on a plain round box bought from Michael's. (It will make a nice jewelry box.) Decorate a plain notebook with buttons, glitter, stickers, ribbons, or rhinestones.(Maybe even decorate a matching pen.)

 Make a bunch of bracelets, rings, earrings, or even a whole set of jewelry. Decorate a notebook with a picture of a Lego guy or an action figure on it. Make a coupon for free back rubs from you for your mom or dad. 

Make a nice picture frame out of card board. Buy a blank book and make it into a coloring book, a joke book, or a story book.

Sew a doll Christmas outfit or dress. Knit some fun, decorative mittens or pot holders. Make a Christmas snow globe out of a clear jar, using confetti and glitter for the snow. Decorate a T-shirt with iron-ons, and the help of a grown-up.
