(I use my beaded spoon to stir my sweet tea. For Christmas, I’m giving my Mom and Mother-in-law the Life pitcher and this platter.
I LOVE this line from Dayspring so much! It makes me happy to use it and to give it. And, it’s on sale right now. The Life Collection is 15% off, just in time for holiday shopping!)

Here are some gift ideas I love (for kids):
Homemade Bubble Bath for kids
Kid’s Meals -such a creative idea
Handmade Ornaments-I love these!
P.S. Come back later today for the PERFECT gift idea from your kids-for that hard to buy for person (Yes, Mom, I’m talking about you-but don’t come back and see what you might be getting for Christmas!) Oh, and I’m giving TWO of them away!
Very cute idea. Love that pitcher!
Great idea!!
Very clever of you!
What a great way to label a utensil for a covered dish event too. Thanks for the info.
I have tons of beads. This is the perfect gift to let the kids make for everyone. Thanks for the idea!
I've just started experimenting with this idea! One lady I teach with wants to make special place settings!
How fun!
sweet!
Love the pitcher! And I love the little extra added bling. Cute!
So very cute!! And creative!! Not to mention…frugal!
AND if you enter this code SAVE15 you get ANOTHER 15% off! I just ordered the pitcher for my sister-in-law's birthday.
I was trying to find a way to contact you to tell you about a contest at Michael's. It's a handmade crafts contest. You are so creative and thought you might like to take a peek to see if you could win the weekly or grand prize http://www.michaelscontest.com/details
Cute idea!
I gave you a bloggy award over at my blog. Have a great day!

With office potlucks and church functions coming up, I went to Dollar Tree and got some of the $1 serving pieces to make these! What a great idea, and so quick and easy to do….
Thanks so much!
I love mine!!!
Thanks for linking to my kids' meals! I read your blog on Friday and completely missed that you were linking to Of Such is the Kingdom! Thanks!
I love these so much you would not believe it!!!
I love it when I can use crafts I love in a different way to make gifts.
I make jewelery, and have lots of great beads which will be perfect for this.
If I make any, I promise to share them and link to you.
Thanks for the inspiration.
