| I know that these are stockings, but I love the green stripes so much I want to make a scarf with the extra yarn... who wants a scarf? |
A few weeks ago, I decided to make homemade sugar scrubs to give as Christmas gifts to parent volunteers that help in the library. They will also make a nice something little (and inexpensive) add on to gifts I give family and friends.
What started off as a great idea for presents turned into me becoming obsessive about making tons of scrubs. After starting with citrus mint, I found a vanilla brown sugar scrub recipe that is beyond amazing. It has been in the teacher bathroom for a little over two weeks and is gone. It seems to be a huge success. Most of all, I have used entirely too much of it and it was supposed to be gifts... I'll just have to make more.. I think I will do that right now.. :)

Speaking of Christmas stockings, and presents, here is my brand new Christmas tree. Usually, I run to Lowes or a local parking lot selling trees, but this is the first holiday season that my roommate has lived here and she's deathly allergic to pine trees. My wonderful mother brought over an artificial tree today while I was at work! :) It is perfect, was very easy to set up, and fits my room nicely. Someday, a real tree will litter my living room with needles, but this year I'm very happy with this artificial one. :)
<--I took this from my sister, I think?
