Help - Christmas Craft Suggestions??

Hi - I need your help!

I'm putting together a newsletter for my team at work. We're doing a Christmas edition.
I've asked the team members for ideas, but they don't seem interested in submitting anything - so it's up to me!
I want to make a page for Christmas craft ideas, but I really don't have any - I'm not much of a crafty person (though I wish I was!)...

So... knowing I have creative people on my friend's list, I thought I'd ask you all for some ideas. Do you have any great homemade christmas gift ideas or other crafty things that you like to do for the holidays? If so, can you post them here, with pictures, or send them to me at my email address: yatesfuji@yahoo.com?

Thanks!!

I got one you could spin into a humor piece of "What Not To Do". This is the real deal; she's actually serious about sending loved ones what the Gawker commenters dubbed "Trash in a Bottle".

that's pretty funny - I don't think I would do this. it's just more junk for people and they'll just throw it away! LOL!

But it's a wonderfully thoughtful gesture that will be greatly appreciated by all!!!

Seriously; Anybody else would say "BAD idea". Not her. She honestly believes she's so frickin brilliant for thinking that crap up.

I often do brownies or cookies in a jar. It's all the dry ingredients to make brownies or cookies layered in a jar. and i tie it with ribbons and write the recipe on a cute cars. Pretty much the person just has to add eggs and milk. Of I modify if they have gluten allergies and such. They've been pretty popular, sadly i never thought to take pics before I gave them away.

I love that idea - I think I might try it this year since I"m low on funds!

Thanks!

This is the third or fourth time I'm trying to comment. Using an LJ App on my iPod. Let's just hope this one goes through. Anyway, Pinterest has great ideas. I have a Pinterest board I call "Crafty!" I pin DIY ideas on. Do you "Pinterest?"

I've heard people talk about Pinterest - I've never used it. I think I'll check it out!!
