Last Minute Shopping...DIY!

As Christmas draws nearer and nearer, very little time remains for shopping, especially for the little gifts that may have been forgotten. The last minute push will have people rushing around almost in a daze...in a craze anyway! So, do something different. Stay away from the malls, put your imagination to work. Invite family and friends over and be creative. Make some small gifts together or simply let the time of enjoyment be the gift itself...give the gift of smiles and laughter.

The Time When Giving Rules

Christmas is a time for giving

Loving, laughing, living

Forgetting and forgiving

Remembering, reliving

Christmas brings time for laughter

Today, tomorrow, thereafter

Gifts of love you are the crafter 

Those ne'er bought before or after

Something to use, something to share

The idea is showing you care

Make it something with flair

 Or totally risque if you dare

If you decide food's the thing

 Plan it with a little zing
Small goodies smiles doth bring
When the mason jar is king

If the gift is a gift of money

Just be sure to make it funny
Any dollar bill, sweet as honey
Leaves the day bright and sunny

Less demanding use simple tools 
Maybe rhinestone studded jewels

Some little wooden sewing spools

This is the time when giving rules
