Christmas Craftiness Unveiled Part 3: Homemade Gift Bags

Thanks to this tutorial featured in Craft Magazine's Craft-daily blog, we made our own Christmas gift bags with ease. We filled these little bags with our homemade seed packets, homemade soap & attached a homemade origami ornament.

We found the pattern for the origami wreath ornaments here.

Jennifer also made rock necklaces for our nieces & that pretty well wrapped up Christmas 2008!

We love to hear from our readers! Please share your thoughts.

Common Milkweed

Why The Common Milkweed? Well many reasons: 1 - It's important! Milkweed is the only larval food for the Monarch Butterfly and food for many other invertebrates. 2 - It's common, yet possesses singular beauty and therefore represents all the beauty in and around us (right under our noses and on "this side of the fence") and the potential for that common beauty to be recognized, expressed and celebrated. 3 - Its persistence in less than ideal growing conditions proves that the beauty contained in the common endures.
