Here are a few of my favorite things...(cue sound of music song). When you are budget minded at Christmas you get creative and often make gifts. I like to personalize gifts by making ornaments and I often stick these (or some other goody) to the Christmas cards we hand out at church. My thinking is that when you give someone a card it often barely gets glanced at and then it gets tossed, I certainly can't afford gifts for all those people so I get creative and make many of them, I figure even if the card gets tossed maybe it will have at least brought a smile for a moment because there was something inside the card besides an inscription (and who doesn't like to open a bulky card with a goody inside?)
Here are a few of my favorite decorations, I have made the cinnamon ones as well as a few of the others, the more 3 dimensional ones obviously would not fit into a card but they make great gift toppers for that personalized touch. For the ones that are not my own, I have included links under the pictures to the original how-to posts. Happy Crafting!
