I came up with this idea and posted this link (Under 100 Days until Christmas!!! What are you doing this year? ). I am reposting this so we can start adding to our letters.


Please add your own ideas to the list for us
A is Antiques, Appreciation, and Aghans.
B Blankets, Baked Goods, Baking Lessons, Babysitting coupons.

*Dishtowels (you could sew some of your own out of scrap material or embordiary a cute design on some that you can get cheap at the dollar store.

*Denim I have been making cute little purses out of the pockets and scrap jeans with a lining out of scrap material. They are so cute. I am also making my son a quilt out of old denim and camo scraps that I have.

*Dips Make up some dips in a jar with the dry ingredients and add a recipe card to the outside with the directions for the moist ingredients. Sort of like the cookies mix in a jar.

* Doggies Spend some special time with woman's best friend. Give your special dog a good pampering, play time, or walk.
