If for Christmas, you can buy the clear ornament balls, pour different color paints into them, roll them around in your hands, let each color dry; start with lightest color to end with white. They are really beautiful and very cheap, especially if you get the balls at the end of season. You can add glitter, go wild with your imagination. Be sure to sign them with a fine tip marker.
For my Dad's Birthday last year, I gave him a cookie of the month club. Every month near his birth date, I brought him a batch of cookies, brownies, or bars.
I need to make a cool little craft for the cast of Singing in the Rain, the play, and I can't seem to think of anything. Could you help me?

How about a little snowglobe (you can make them with babyfood jars) with silver glitter (to look more like rain) and a little scene that either looks like a scene from Singing in the Rain or an umbrella and the words Singing in the Rain? I think you might be able to get umbrellas in the wedding shower section of a party store. These umbrellas are cute too, maybe you can do something with them? I found them at babyfavorsandthings.com

Get inexpensive umbrellas and fabric paints and let the cast decorate them. Or small styro balls or weaths and lots of paper umbrellas(like those used for cocktails and some craft glue and paints and some string or cord. Paint the styro shape and let dry.
I am looking for any primitive or country style wreath ideas. I am also looking for other gift ideas for around $5 - $10 to make.
Thanks.

I like covering notebooks in pretty fabric and then buying pretty pens to go with them. I am crazy over fabric! I only buy the dollar or less remnant pieces at Wal-mart.

Twigs strung together artfully with twist-ties and painted silver or white can be gorgeous wreaths.
I was at a discount store and found 4 packages of flower gel for $1. Then I went to the dollar store and bought a tall 3 inch square clear glass vase for $1. I headed over to the grocery store where they sell Bamboo Plant Stems for about $1 each for small ones.
When your garden is full of beautiful blooms and you begin cutting some to add beauty inside your home, cut a few more than you need. Deliver your surplus of flowers to a nursing home, assisted living facility, elderly neighbor, or a friend or family member that needs a little cheering up.
