Loose ends...

There were a few things leftover from Christmas that I wanted to post here and never quite got around to. In one of my Green the Season posts I told you about Happy Camper's homemade Organic Vanilla Brown Sugar Body Scrub. Fletcher and I ended up making it for his teachers at school and it was a hit!

After striking out at the thrift stores for suitable, yet attractive, and properly sized jars I ended up buying these little glass jars shaped like apples at Hobby Lobby. They were on clearance for just over $2 each. I printed up ingredients and instructions on the computer and used some scrap book paper and ribbon from my stash to make tags. Voila!

I also made us some new Christmas stockings for next year. The three we have now were hand-me-down from my mom (thanks mom!) but they're sort of Victorian looking with "doilies and lace and stuff" as my husband says. And since we're adding two new kidlets to the household this year, I decided to make a new batch. I found some pretty Debbie Mumm (sp?) Christmas fleece on sale at JoAnn Fabric after the holiday for 70% off and used some ribbon and buttons that I had in my stash.

I think they turned out pretty cute! I guess they look a little busy in this photo. The colors are much darker and warmer in person - so just believe me that they're sweet in person. ;) They're very soft and fuzzy.
