Christmas Finger Cookie Recipe

By Leave a Comment

Do you have that ONE special recipe that your family asks for year after year at Christmastime? I am pretty sure our family has three, 4 or even 5 recipes that are their faves. Especially since we have seven kids, that means lots of variety and tastes. BUT, with that being said, it wouldn’t be Christmas in our family without Bing Crosby singing, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and my Christmas Finger Cookie Recipe.

These light finger shaped cookies are ALWAYS a big hit. Made from scratch? Absolutely! Real butter? Of course!

DIY Christmas Gift Wrapping Supplies Organization

By 3 Comments

Now that our home is decorated for Christmas, it’s time to start wrapping gifts. To keep my home in order, I have created my own DIY Christmas Gift Wrapping Supplies Organization.

With a few craft supplies, I am able to hide my wrapping supplies in “plain sight”.

 

I am always looking for my paper scissors and the tape. My ribbon is always tucked away in a grocery bag. So with just a little creativity, I now have my DIY Christmas Gift Wrapping Supplies Organization. AND, it’s pretty, too.

Oat Cranberry and Almond Bars

By Leave a Comment

Our family loves treats. Does your family, too? I mean we love treats so much that (sometimes) we have Oat Cranberry and Almond Bars for breakfast.

Of course they are a treat. BUT, with a big glass of cold milk-they are a quick halfway healthy meal as you are running out the door.

You noticed I said “halfway healthy”, right?

I love to make my own Christmas gifts. Whether it is a Christmas ornament, gift basket or a rustic sign. Creative DIY Christmas Gifts are a personal way to share your heart and the giving spirit.

I have collected these inspiring Creative DIY Christmas Gifts to inspire your creative juices.

Sometimes you have someone that is SO hard to find a gift for. I have a couple of people like that in my own family. So if I can DIY a gift, all the better for both of us, right?
