    Each year, I challenge myself to make and thrift a large portion of our Christmas gifts. My skills continue to improve and I get to pass my lessons on to you, follow along for the 2022 results and let me know in the comments below what you will be making!

      I am making a wreath made from vintage pins. It fits inside a picture frame where you can hang it on the wall or prop it up on a table using an easel.

    This is one of your best videos. It was so relaxing and full of Christmas spirit and the presents you made are so simple but so beautiful. I loved this!

      You’re exactly right! I thought the same thing!

      I think so too. There was happiness. Sometime when I watch your videos, you seem quite sad, even though you smile. I hope that you have found happiness moving forward.

    This might be my favorite video. I LOVE your ideas and I think I might be able to create my own gifts as well. Would you ever consider doing a wreath making class? I would definitely pay to participate.

      I have always loved making Christmas gifts. They are so much more meaningful. Your ideas are really nice and presented in a natural, realistic manner. The double bow idea is a winner ! Off to TJs and Michael’s. Thank you as always for the inspiration.

    Your gifts are so lovely! I would squeal with delight to receive any of them. I lost my Mom 4 years ago, I love the idea of the towel with one of her recipes on it. You are so talented, what a beautiful video.

    Everything you do has such a touch of elegance to it! Thank you for the inspiration. I’m going to try the caramel recipe. I usually make homemade fudge for holiday gifts & everyone loves it. I think I’ll pair it with the caramels for something extra special. 🎄

    You are such a dear person. Your sweet spirit is so evident in your videos. How incredibly special it was to use your mom's recipe to create the tea towel for your sister. That first Christmas after losing my mom was so hard. 15 Christmases without her and still it is is always bittersweet.
    You and your family are in my prayers. We keep going don't we? And that Honors them

    You have such a sweet gentle spirit. Thank you for sharing your talent of putting together beautiful and tasty gifts. My mom made the Christmas caramels every year. Her memory is failing so the past two years she has not made them. You've inspired me to continue this tradition.❤

    Love your warmhearted crafts for friends and family. I’m going to try your caramels and I was going to donate a linen table cloth but now I’m going to make some sentimental towels with my mothers hand written recipes. Thank you. I also love your couched wash cloths. Warmth and love to you

  • @lose999
    @lose999 2 года назад +1

    This is absolutely lovely. I noticed your mom's beautiful cursive writing on her recipe. My favorite recipes from my mother in law were written in cursive. She passed a long time ago but her recipes live on...
    Your packaging is exquisitely simple and classic. Your sister will love that tea towel. What a thoughtful gift.

  • @lauracochran9570
    @lauracochran9570 2 года назад +2

    Sarah, Everything you do is so lovely. I too have a wonderful recipe hand written by my father who is no longer with us. I was so inspired by that particular gift idea to make for his siblings this Christmas. ♥ I so enjoy your beautiful and thoughtful ideas! Thank you and have a blessed Christmas season!

    Thank you for this well thought out video. I wanted to gift some wonderful neighbors something special to let them know thank you for their kindness. Unfortunately this has been a real difficult year and was feeling down that I wouldn’t be able to thank you for giving me the Christmas spirit again!!

  • @pollyporter-campbell7493

    Thank you Sarah for the thoughtful gift ideas. I love the "doilies as dish cloths" idea.
    (One of the reasons your matches may not strike on sand paper might be because they're safety matches. This type will only strike on the striker from the box.)

    I found Coasters all over in sets of 3 or 4, both round and square, heavy, made mostly stone or stone look resin, with ugly pictures or prints on top. I covered these with photos I took or spray painted or embroidered tops, and clear shellacked or covered with decorators finish.
    The sets were on average $2 and the photos etc ran me no more than $3. ❤

    Sarah, you did such a beautiful job. Those kinds of gifts are the BEST! gifts! They’re gifts that are homemade & made from the heart. And that’s what makes them the best! It’s also what Christmas should be all about. That’s the Spirit of Christmas!!! I think that’s what the whole world needs right now. Peace, Love & the Spirit of Christmas.
    Hope you’re doing better regarding your mom’s passing. She’s happy in heaven in her new house & with her relatives & friends. They’re all probably celebrating Christmas with a big bash all month & every one’s happy. Then one day we’ll all join them soon. God bless.
    Merry Christmas Sarah, to you & your Family & Happy New Year.

    These are lovely. Thank you.
    I make crocheted dish cloths for gifts. Or adding a small strip of pretty fabric to a washcloth or towel. Making a set of cloth napkins is fun. And something I'm doing this year is jars of dehydrated greens (green onion, celery and chard etc for soup bases or sauces) all from my garden.
    Tea cups and other small containers also work for candles. Dried roses on homemade soap is also a lovely option.

    I loved your handmade gifts. Of all the gifts you made, my favorite was the Holly wreath! I wish I had access to a Holly bush like you did. In my area, we have cedar and juniper trees so I'm thinking to make some wreaths from them. The juniper have little berries on them which makes them extra beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.

  • @deborahdavey1743
    @deborahdavey1743 2 года назад

    Some great ideas thank you very much. I have always wanted to make caramels and never had the nerve to follow a recipe and see how I do. I was so surprised to see your mothers handwriting. It is so similar to my Mother’s. It’s actually made my heart jump to see it somewhere other than my Mother’s recipe cards. Thank you for your great gift giving.

    Ohh Sarah, how precious these gifts are. I love homemade gifts elevating them and getting back to basics. I marvel at your ideas, love the soups and bread 🥖 gift, simply perfect for winter. I love buying vintage teacups/mugs inexpensively and adding loose tea, chai, bars of chocolate for hot cocoa, or a small bag of flavored coffee. Tie it up in a doily or without a doily with a grosgrain ribbon, just lovely! You are such a delight….Merry Christmas!🎄 Feliz Navidad! 🙏🏽🎄
