It's always nice go give, or recieve a handmade gift. I want to try to make that easier for you! Over the next few months, I'm going to be working hard between custom orders and my toddler to get some ready to ship items made up so that you can easily give handmade gifts this holiday season.
For the most part these ready to ship items will be items that I don't normally sell and they will only be available as you see them. There probably won't be any clothing, so if you want a special outfit please contact me using the contact tab on my facebook page.
Some of the goodies I'm planning to make: doll diaper sets, crochet purses for little girls, aprons (if I can really get my act together), checkbook covers, and anything else that seems fun to me.
As you start to think about those special holiday outfits don't forget about Annabelle's Basket. Many of my pieces can be layered for a fun new look! The Aliyah Pinafore can be layered over a solid tee for a super cute playdate look. The Twirly Skirt can be paired with tights and a longsleeve top. The Tea Party Dress can be paired with tights and a purchased cardigan style sweater, the Tea Party Dress is perfect for a special occasion and comfy too! The Kaitlin Peasant Dress is designed perfectly for fall and winter wear. Capris are perfect throughout the fall, and don't forget about the Emily Tier Dress, tuck the straps in and it can be worn as a skirt!
I am a SAHM/WAHM of Annabelle (5). My shop specializes in doll accessories, children's clothing, crochet & knit items, and digital invitations. We will begin our 'official' home school adventure in fall 2014.

Homemade Sugar Scrub
This is not a new or original idea, I've seen it on several blogs all over the place. This worked so well and ends up being pretty inexpensive per jar. I'm thinking of making this as favors or prizes for a baby shower I'm throwing in a couple of weeks, I think that moms, grandmas, heck, all women would love this.
All you need is a small jar, regular granulated sugar, and liquid soap. I used Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay because it smells good and doesn't dry out my hands like some dishsoap can, my regular sugar that I use for baking, and a small jelly jar that I found around the house.
I found that I needed to add some extra sugar and soap to fill the jar and get the consistancy I wanted.
I used this after digging in the garden and my hands are clean and oh so soft! You can have lots of fun with this making all kinds of different scents! With the holidays right around the corner, this would makea great gift for mom, grandma, the neighbor, or an office gift exchange!

| Fill the jar about 3/4 full with sugar. |
 |
| Fill the rest of the way with soap. |
 |
| Stir with a butter knife. |

| Then I just made a label and glued it to the lid. |
