She says, "Have each guest bring a wrapped gift for the gift exchange. Everyone sits in a circle while a narrator reads the following story. Each time the words LEFT, RIGHT, or WRIGHT are mentioned, the gifts are passed in that direction. Each person will keep the gift they are holding at the end of the story." It's a lot of fun and you can print our the story to use at your party. Italian Biscotti Holiday time is the best season for cookies! Families usually have their favorites, whether it's chocolate chip, shortbread or pinwheels. Here's an Italian cookie recipe that I bake thorough out the year. Biscottis are double baked cookies that are fabulous with milk or any warm beverage- perfect for dunking! For Christmas I dip the ends of the cookies in melted semi-sweet chocolate and allow to harden. They are barely in the kitchen for two days after that! They make great gifts when you combine them with the Cheerful Cookie Box!! Great Gift & Fundraising Idea Brownies in a Jar Gift Everyone loves brownies. Brownies are the perfect gift and you'll love our Brownies in a Jar. All you need is a one quart jar that you can pick up at your local craft store. Just take the ingredients for the Double Fudge Brownie Mix and fill the jar. You can make the jar festive by using a colorful ribbon to tie on the recipe instructions along with a note from you. Using a small piece of material you can also cover the lid of the jar add the ribbon and you have "wrapped" your gift! Irish Cream Fudge This week's Dessert of the Week features Irish Cream Fudge. This delicious treat makes a great gift and family dessert. This recipe makes about 5 pounds of fudge. You can use any kind of Irish Cream you choose. Also nuts are optional and if you choose to add them, any type your like will work well with this recipe. Sit-A-Pon a gift for the gardening mom 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. Cheerful Cookie Box Kathy Ross, the popular craft book author, has written a new book craft book called Crafts for Christian Values . 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. Rock Paperweight & Handprints These projects would make great gifts and a special rememberance for mom , dad or someone special as a holiday gift or keepsake . These two crafts include a way to transform a simple rock and also how to make a special handprint craft. This craft includes wonderful poems from our crafters that you can use to get those creative juices flowing. Potpourri Gel Jars This week's Craft of the Week features a wonderful gift that children of any age can make. Gel Jars are beautifully decorated, scented gifts. They are sure to liven up any room with their fragrance. You'll want to choose scents which your mom likes. You can substitute potpourri oil for the essential oils in this craft. Heart Magnets These are terrific for the fridge and a welcomed gift for any age. They can also be made into fashionable pins . Attach pin backings to the heart instead of magnets. The craft "dough" will keep unrefrigerated for up to 2 weeks when stored with a small piece of damp sponge in a plastic bag or sealed container. This fun craft can be done with children of any age starting from 4 years old and up. How Can I Save Money on Birthday Gifts and Parties? by Jonni McCoy When it's time for a special occasion, we tend to throw out the budget. Some of us even resort to using our credit cards for these events since we had not planned for them in our budget. With a little foresight and creativity, we can handle these gift-giving days as well as we handle our daily expenses. Valentine Hug Box & Cookies Yes, it is a craft, yes it is a recipe, but the best part of it is the personal touch. The giving of yourself. This Valentine Package should be made for anyone you care about- this could be grandparents, a sick friend or anyone who could use a hug. Look around your neighborhood. Look into your own family. If a class is going to create this craft think about a small group that you would like to donate these treasures to. All will be brightened by your efforts; your artistry; your art.
