Christmas Gifts

I saw this Christmas gift idea on a blog I follow and decided it would be a perfect gift for Korben's teacher and bus driver. I don't really know if you are supposed to give gifts to teachers etc. anymore, but these ladies are such wonderful women that I couldn't help but give them something.

Of course I put off making these till Thursday night around 9:30pm - the night before Korben's last day of school. I didn't want to make a huge shopping trip out of it, so Mike ran to Safeway just to get the bottles while I rounded up items in our home to use as bottle fillers. Although I didn't follow the pattern exactly (I didn't have confetti so substituted tissue paper, and I cut the hole too high so had to cover the top), I think they turned out rather cute. The best part, is that they only cost me $3 in soda since I had everything else. Woohoo!

So if you are needing an inexpensive but cute gift to give this week, here's a fun one:

From Things I love
(Note: Filled with candy, B&B soap, and an assortment of hot chocolate)

After I finished this post I decided to make these for the women I visit teach. I used
confetti this time rather than tissue paper and I think they turned out cute too. So here's
some made just a little differently.
