Christmas crafts...

This year for Christmas, (- yes, I know it isn't even past Thanksgiving yet) I have been trying to think of ways to give nice gifts without heafty price tages. I know that a lot of people are trying to do the same, so I thought I would share what we were able to come up with. I saw this advent calendar in the Garnet Hill catalog. I don't have $68 to spend on it but thought it was a great idea. So we came up with our homemade version...






I wouldn't recommend doing this with your kids unless they are older.

Now all I have to do is fill all the buckets. Any suggestions: items to put in the bucket, things to do as a family that cost little money, things to read as a family...
