Make It, Bake It, Sew It Or Grow It Christmas 2009

This year (well last year) we decided to try something new, instead of exchanging gift cards with each other we were going to try a make it, bake it, sew it or grow it Christmas. It was a blast!

Here is a breakdown of how it went:

Nana had Cheryl and made her wash clothes and two new scarfs

Cheryl had Nana and made her Christmas bulbs and grew here an Amaryllis plant.

Uncle Bill had Gary and made his a wooden chest of drawers for all his "garage stuff"

Gary had Billy and made him a washer toss game

Billy had Steve and made his a photo frame of pictures that spelled out Susalla. All the pictures were of places or things that pertained to his life.

Steve had Emily and made her homemade concord grape wine.

Emily had Tony and also made him a washer toss game...with the help of Billy

Tony had Meghan and made her a giant planter box and filled it with poinsettias

Meghan had Lindsey and made her a raspberry liquor and knitted her a scarf

Lindsey had Uncle Bill and made him mosaic pot and painted him a garden stake

Aunt Carolyn had Jessica and made her a recipe holder filled with her favorite recipes along with some towels she sewed for her wet hair.

Jessica had Aunt Carolyn and panted her a Christmas platter and baked chocolate chip cookies.
