12 Days of Gift-mas- Gift #8

 Hello all Darling Doodles readers! I'm so excited to be here as part of Brie's 12 Days of Giftmas! For those who don't know me, my name is Leslie and I'm visiting from my blog Pampers, Play Dates & Parties. I love to celebrate every part of life, whether that means hosting a party with family and friends, trying out a new recipe, or just creating a fun craft to share.

And speaking of crafting, with as tight as everyone's budget is getting these days, I've had to get a little creative with our gift giving this year. A great way to be creative during the holiday season is by creating your own teacher or co-worker gifts. Homemade treats are a favorite for co-workers and teachers; but dollar store tins and mini gift bags don't have much use beyond the giving of the gift...how about using a mason jar instead? Check it out!

There you have it!  I'll be filling our teacher's jars with gift cards, cookies and candies.  And after the treats are out of the jars, they will make great pen holders, votive candle holders or vases. Thanks again to Brie for hosting my little craft today.  All the giftmas ideas have been great so far, and I can't wait to see what everyone else has in store!

Seriously, where do people come up with these things?  What a fantastic way to spruce up an old mason jar!  Thanks Leslie, amazing as always!
