Here's a few more shots of some homemade gifts I made in the past (a snow globe for my brother with his business logo, a manger scene ornament and the large manger model again):

Cool! They're fun to make.
Thanks! I didn't make that Pikachu, but I did make two little beanbag Pikachus before. ^-^ Those crafts were from before I knew how to sew.

Those are awesome! I think it would be really cool to make a snowglobe!

Yeah, I had so much fun making them lol. A close friend of mine and I also used to make strategy games out of army men. There were different phases you would go through, like a troop movement phase, fire phase and morale phase. =)

Thanks! I got the globe itself from a local craft store, and made the frame from basswood, which was painted to look like a Christmas present lol. I think it turned out pretty well.

Haha the strategy games sounds like they would have been fun. I tried to do things like that with my Pokemon figures but never got far. Sometimes I pretended they were my pets and I took care of them instead, haha.

Snowglobes are nice.

lol really? In elementary school I did the same thing. =P One of my friends brought a toy Bulbasaur to school and started treating it as a pet. I got jealous and a few days later I ended up doing the same thing with a Bulbasaur toy I had; I made a house for him and everything haha.

I'm going to assume this is crafting, so if it's not I sorry!





^ ^ ^ Has anyone ever made a sugar scrub before?

Also.... Magnets I've made magnets before and they're a lot harder than you would think to make, haha. Also I really shouldn't be allowed near hot glue guns.

I never heard of a sugar scrub until now. I love the colors of those ones, though!
I made a few magnets years ago in school, but that's it. A Halloween one and a Valentine's Day one, if I remember correctly. I love those glitter magnets!

Oooh that's a great idea!
Love the salt scrub idea a lot!

When you use it to scrub your body, the salt melts in the warm shower or tub and leaves behind the oil to soften the skin.

What is the nicest kind of oil to put into the body scrub?

Candle question: anyone got the idea to also use up all old candles into various designs in one glass holder?

I've got old green and red ones from holidays and other colors too.

Using the double boiler method is super easy!

(I use a double boiler to make fudge from baking cocoa powder, powdered sugar and add in Hazelnut extract or Mint extract and nuts!)

I forget if I've mentioned this or not but I use to make beaded jewelry, I wish I still made it.. Or had room to make it. I've sold a few pieces of it so that would be kind of neat to do again.
