    I would be happy to receive something you made, it would be much better than anything you can purchase for that price!

    What do you guys think?

    Table runner!! Home made, much better than a unsentimental piece of junk from the store!

    What is a Chinese gift exchange?

    That is where everyone present brings one gift. We draw numbers and then the first person picks a present and opens it. Person number two either takes person #1's present or they pick a different one to open and so on and so on til everyone has a present. Then you go around one more time and either keep your gift or take someone elses. It is very fun and you never know who will end up with the present you brought.

    I want to make something really great for my gift but I need ideas people!! Help me figure out what I can do from my stash!! :)

    missy i was thinking what about a throw pillow for on the couch in christmas fabrics? it doesn't have to be christmas fabric since you want to use you stash but christmas colors. or even burgandy)SP?) and pinks with green thrown in.




    Joanns.com...........click on 3 day sale scroll down and click on pillow forms 50% off you could get a 14X14 for $2.50 and here is a free shipping code for any order so you don't have to pay shipping. CYBER333 but hurry it ends tonight

    DON"T do a search you have to click on where it says 50% off with a search they are the full price.

    What about reversible placemats? They could be everyday on one side and Christmas on the other.

    I actually like the idea of a pillow. I think I will go order some forms too. I have to make a gift for Jim's frind and I think a pillow would be perfect.
