Isn't Christmas a wonderful time of year? I LOVE making homemade gifts to give to people or finding fun new ways to give gifts in a unique way. This year at work we did something so fun! We had a "Hot Cocoa Bar." Each participant brought a fun holiday mug to trade in for a new one. I got the cutest one!!!
Here it is~
Isn't that darling?! I just love it! I think that this is such a great idea! There were different types of marshmallows and peppermint sticks for stirring the cocoa. There were different types of bagged powder cocoa and some hot water in a warmer. AND donut holes! What fun! This had to be blogged because I want to keep this idea for later!
The other gifts that I want to blog about are the gifts I've made for the sisters that I visit teach for Christmas. As you know, I've been creating printables for the October 2012 General Conference talks. Well...I've finished them, I just haven't blogged them! I got prints made and my companion and I have compiled the photos in albums to give to the sisters we visit.
Here's a look~
It was seriously budget friendly to do this! I had a 40% off code for the photos and the albums were just altered $1 albums from the store. The total for each on was under $5!!! And it's something that will encourage further study and inspire the sisters as they use the photos to decorate their homes.
I think the next gift will be for Valentine's Day and it will be picture frames that these quotes will fit in. Then each sister can display the quotes in a place that they will be able to reflect on them daily. The beauty of this is that they can choose different quotes at different times in their lives!
I hope you've found inspiration in these two ideas--I will be back with more General Conference quotes SOON!!! Merry Christmas friends--I'm not sure how much blogging I'll be able to do over the next few days! ;)
