Homemade Gifts From the Heart- May

Welcome to my Gifts from the Heart- May. I am not sure about you but this month has been gift central over here. Whether the gift has been for a birthday, teacher appreciation week, Mother's Day or just saying thank you-I have been BUSY!!!



I wanted to show a few gifts I have completed. I am showing you all this for ideas!!

For a last thank you gift to teachers, assistants, and staff I found this at Beneath My Heart. It is a bag full of mint candy and a nice poem. Everyone loved it. It cost me a total of $9.00 for 6 bags. If you are looking for last minute teacher gifts for the end of the year...this is the ticket.



Then for thank you gifts for all the hard work at MOPS I gave some of the leaders rosette pins.



Gifts do not have to be homemade they can be your time. A few weeks ago my friend asked me to show her how to sew and help her make throw pillows. 2 hours later she was beginning to be confident sewer (so much that she wants to buy a sewing machine) and she has 5 new throw pillows. We also had so much fun together.


She happens to be my MOPS Leader too, so for a thank you gift I gave her a Cupcake Pin Cushion. I saw this idea at Easy Peasy Grandma. Hopefully, she will learn to love sewing and we can have sewing play dates!! Doesn't that sound fun???



Finally, a gift can be trying to help a neighbor with really bad taste...seriously. My sweet neighbor's husband painted his rusty old mailbox "Chrome" the other day...and called the job complete. It looked awful!! We don't have a HOA, but that was unacceptable!!



The wife asked me to fix it. The husband was not offended that I painted over his spaceship looking mailbox. He actually really likes it!! They promise me they are going to paint the post but we shall see.


That was a long list, sorry, but I told you I have been busy.

Now I would love to see what you have done this month. Show me your homemade gifts, or as I showed above it can be helping a neighbor or taking time to teach a friend a new craft. I love giving homemade gifts and my goal here is to inspire others to give homemade gifts as well.

Link up today and show us some of your homemade gifts!!
