Dare to DIY Features: give handmade - and a sneak peek

Thank you so much to everyone who posted a handmade gift. I got so many great ideas from this week's Dare to give handmade.

Here are a couple of my favorite ones. Gretchen from Boxy Colonial made this sugar free cocoa mix. And she taste tested it with her kids first to make sure that it got a general approval. I love the way she wrapped it in a mason jar with all the bells and whistles baker's twine.



And check out this made over doll sized sheet set and duvet cover from Amber at Wills Casa. Is that not the best idea ever. I love the polka dotted sheet set. Does that come in Cal King because then I want some. And of course she spiced the whole thing up with an amazing reversible duvet cover. I just can't get enough.



Here is my sneak peek. Now, I realize that a string of light and some greenery is very generic looking. I was reluctant to show more elements in my clue because I have not yet worked out all the details for the final touches, so I guess you will just have to be surprised on Monday... It will not be my Christmas tree if that is what you are thinking ...



Next week is last week of our four Dare to DIY. (sniffle). I enjoy these challenges so much.

Kim from Newly Woodwards is our host next week and again, I just can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Please link up to one or all of the co-hosts, and feel free to use this graphic in your post as well, then hop on over to Kim's site and join the link party! See you there Monday!



Have a great weekend and I hope you Dare to DIY!
