Who's gonna make Christmas gifts??

[Tiggeroo]

I want to make some food things. I also might make some funny hats out of polar fleece. Has anybody ever done this?
Also I want to make those neat chocolate/caramel like covered apples if I can figure out how. How bout you guys??

All but the baked goods are done and wrapped/packaged. This year we even made the wrapping paper and bags.

I'm going to make packages of cookies for everyone - something they've all come to expect after more than 20 years of doing so.. May also make some breads and unusual muffins as well..

Would like to make a "memory" quilt for my granddaughter - with our pictures from our trip to WDW the September before last - but don't know how to transfer the color photos to the material.. Anyone know how? I thought that would be really neat!

Already ahead of you.

I've completed one Christmas gift (a cross stitch), am working on a second cross stitch Christmas gift, am considering starting a third small cross stitch Christmas gift, and am working on a small quilt (my first! ) Christmas gift that I think is probably going to become a birthday gift instead but who knows.

I'm trying to figure out what I can make for my mom this year that I can actually finish. I've been making cross stitch or silk ribbon embroidery things for her for a few years now and I'd hate to break that new tradition this year.

I make frabric covered photo albums. I even have all my Disney pics in Mickey themed material. I just bought some Tigger fabric so I can make one for a fellow Diser. OOOpppps I hope she does not see this.

I just made one the other day out of a worn out pair of Jeans and I love it. Now i have to make wedding (bridesmaid fabric) ones for my wedding party as a X-mas gift. i hope they like them.

This year I'm doing bead jewelry for my girlfriends. I'm pretty good at bracelets, I've done one pair of earrings, and I'm going to try a couple of necklaces too.

Last year I made some candy (mints and something else I can't remember at the moment) from a recipe I found in Rosie magazine, and they turned out quite well!

Also, this is cheating, but Sam's Club and Costco here sell a really great Pillsbury cookie dough. It's all mixed together, all you need to do is spoon it out onto a pan. People LOVED them. Also, Ghiradelli makes a great brownie mix, that went over really well too.

Last Christmas, we received a tupperware container with all the dry ingredients for cookies. All we need to do is add the liquid.

I have a friend who sells Tupperware, so I bought some from her and I'm going to make an assortment of baked goods and put them in Tupperware, and wrap it with cellophane.

For your caramel apple recipe, maybe you could try foodtv.com or allrecipes.com?
