So, i'm not super crafty and creative but I enjoy trying when I have time. Of course when money is tight it's sometime necessary to be creative with Christmas gifts. Pinterest has helped me be a bit more creative, so I thought i'd share a couple of my pinterest-inspired Christmas gifts (I can only post some of these advance because others may see this and ruin the Christmas surprise). Also a given that when it's your child's first Christmas...everyone gets a picture of your kid...and no one can say they don't like your gift! :)
Scrabble letter tiles connecting my entire family...gift for my parents! Me and each of my siblings names coming off "Scarbrough" (my maiden name) and includes grandkids and spouses (soon-to-be-spouse). Made a few other versions of this not shown here too! Got this shadow box frame 12"x12" for $5 at Goodwill and ordered a set of Scrabble letters for around $6...scrapbook paper background I already owned!
Elias' first autograph...this fits perfect in his sports themed bedroom and makes a great gift for our baseball loving family! This was a fun one to create...also made ornaments with his handprint! I already owned the paint and just bought baseballs for around $2 and autographed baseball holders for $3!
