There’s something about homemade gifts that warm the soul. I think it’s knowing that someone has spent their time thinking about you and working hard to make something special, just for you.
It feels to good to make things with your own hands, too. At least I like it. Do you?
Creating something brings a sense of satisfaction and joy to me. If you are this way, you might enjoy perusing today’s links.
In gathering these posts and tutorials, I’ve tried to choose those which are fairly simple and straight-forward.There’s enough crazy going on this time of year without adding humungous do-it-yourself projects into the mix!

I love MadeOn too! This week my daughter made up hard lotion and lip balm (chocolate peppermint as well!) and had a fun time with it. We had a good time making up these gifts and we are looking forward to making them again.
