Our family LOVES to make gifts for others at Christmas. It’s economical and it makes it extra special when it’s handmade! We also have a tradition of a new ornament each year for everyone so these DIY Jenga Ornaments are perfect as they are handmade and cost very little to make!

As with many of my crafts I started with the items in my home and then went to the Dollar Tree for the rest of my supplies. I’m always surprised what I find there! What doesn’t surprise me is the great bargains!

Food and useful items are high on my list for what makes a great gift! And of course, who doesn’t love brownies plus can find a use for a hot pad for the kitchen. This easy DIY Christmas hot pad is a great gift which works for men or women. And with a price tag under $5 it qualifies as a very frugal Christmas gift.

For the first time in a couple of years, I'm ready to bring out the glittery JOY of Christmas!  Have you ever wanted to have glittery words of the season in your home?   This tutorial will make it easy to make these handmade glitter letters for your Christmas decorating!

We are entering what we call “no rest for the weary” weeks.  Starting with Halloween there is something almost every weekend that keeps us busy or away from home!  I have the 4 essentials on my list for the holidays that I will not sacrifice but I like to think and work ahead to maintain a spirit of peace and joy in our home.  For me that means creating homemade gifts ahead of time and stashing them away in readiness for gift giving.

Welcome to Pam Larmore with P.S. I Love You Crafts.  I've invited her to share her love for making handmade cards.  It's so nice to give and receive handmade cards.  I hope you enjoy these easy handmade Christmas cards and the simple instructions on how to make your own!
