For some reason I was very ambitious and made lots of goodies to send my family and I also made Jar Lid Openers from plastic shelf lining. I forgot to take a picture but you just crochet an edge around them. Since the lining comes in a package you may as well make a lot and I did.
The cutest thing I made for Christmas was Bingo games for the great grandchildren and I forgot to take a picture of that, too. I saw it on pinterest when I was looking for bows. You use M and Ms for the tokens. I bought sturdy Christmas boxes to put the game in and typed up the directions and glued to the inside of the lid. Can't believe I didn't take a picture before sending. Kristie said they were perfect but they ate all the M and Ms right away. I also always go to Margie's Book Store and look for almost new children's Christmas books. This year I had credits from books I had given them so got nine books for $5.36!!
Since I am staying home for Christmas I decided to do a puzzle so I bought a very nice 1000 piece puzzle and though it is two weeks from Christmas I almost have it done. I took pictures as I progressed each day or so.
Since I won't have a puzzle to do when Christmas really comes I bought another 1000 piece puzzle and it is from a StoryBook Series from China. It is Snow White and Seven Dwarfs, of course.
I like puzzles better than cross words and I can listen to my books or tv at the same time. For some reason at Christmas time it never seems like a waste of time!!!
