Kathy's latest book is filled with wonderful crafts and ideas to help children learn about Christian values and what they mean. This easy-to-do craft lets you take disposable plastic containers, photos, drawings, and old greeting cards to make a wonderful keepsake . It's so easy that even the little ones can do it too. Sit-A-Pon a gift for the gardening teacher The Sit-A-Pon is created by using very simple household materials; old plastic tablecloth, magazines, and yarn. I first made a Sit-A-Pon when I was a Girl Scout. I still remember that pink and white soft square that protected my knees while gardening as a small girl. The Sit-A-Pon can be personalized just for your mom. You can use water proof magic markers to write her name and her favorite colored yarn to sew the edging. My Special Cloth Book Put some special memories in a book you can give. This craft is brought to us by Roberta Ross-Fisher and she says, "All children enjoy having ownership in their work, and they especially like to complete projects which focus on themselves. Bookmaking can be a fun and easy way to help children at various ages and ability levels to communicate through writing." Cardboard Earrings The kids will enjoy making these earrings for themselves or as gifts . Be creative with the designs and you'll be sure to have a true piece artwork! Experiment with different designs. You can make the earrings as simple or as outrageous as you like. Birds, animals, flowers, shapes- it's up to you! They make great gifts for moms , teachers or a great addition to your Halloween outfit. Dessert-of-the-Week Toffee Bars This week's Dessert of the Week features the sinfully delicious Toffee Bars. This candy is fun for a special treat or dressed up in a candy tin as a great gift. These bars are simple to make and the kids can help make them too! Lollipop Plants Grow a lollipop plant ! Whether you are a teacher , mom , or kid who loves crafts, this is the perfect for you. It's very simple and you don't even need dirt. This is great as both a festive decoration and treat holder . You can use any kind of lollipops- Blow Pops, Tootsie Roll Pops or the traditional non filled pops.

Pass along one of your own family traditions, such as bringing an iron cricket on the hearth for good luck, a wreath to symbolize hospitality, or a guest book to record events and celebrations.
Give the Gift of Memories
Bring a photo album of your special times together. On the last page leave a space for a photo of their new home and write: "To be continued..." This can be an inexpensive gift that will be treasured now and in the future.
Transform the Ordinary
Flowering plants, green plants, plant baskets, or fresh flower arrangements can be a pretty ordinary gift -- or they can be
spectacular
. Choose, make, or order something really lush and gorgeous, decorated with bows, balloons, or ornaments, and placed in a beautiful container.
One Big Beautiful
... take your pick: vase, bowl, basket, cache pot, coffee table book, pitcher, or tray . Most people can use another one of these. Choose simple classic shapes and colors, or make it something special for a current holiday such as a blue bowl decorated with white stars for July 4th or a vase etched with little hearts for a housewarming close to Valentine's Day.
The Bad
Scraggly plants
Never give a plant or floral arrangement that looks like it has seen better days. This can be an additional problem in very hot or very cold weather too, since fresh greens can wilt quickly in temperature extremes. And never give a plant to someone who will have no interest in looking after it.
Pets
Never give something so personal as a pet, unless you know for a fact that this would be a welcome gift. Pets will demand a time and care commitment that many people are too busy to give.
Food
Be careful with food gifts. Candy will be all wrong for someone watching calories, while fresh fruit will be wasted if the recipients have an out of town trip coming up. Only when you know the person well can appropriate food items be chosen that will be welcomed.
Don't Ignore Their Taste
Perhaps you love antiques but your friends love contemporary. Don't force your preferences on them with an unwelcome gift of something only you think they "should" like. Chances are the gift will be a dud. Better to go with something "ordinary" than to strike out completely.
Recycled Gifts
Don't ever (repeat after me) -- don't ever give a gift that you've already received yourself, then rewrapped for someone else. It's tacky, and eventually someone will probably figure out what happened, then everyone will be embarassed.
