Pumpkin Vase

If you're in the holiday spirit, try something new to brighten up your home. Simply clean and carve the inside of a pumpkin, just as you would if you are creating a scary pumpkin to set outside. Then, set a glass or cup in the middle of the pumpkin, fill it with water and place your favorite flowers inside.

This is a great way to get the kids involved in the season.

Rock Love

This is wonderful gift I made for a special friend. Take a vase and fill the container with large rocks. Family and friends can write a personal message on each rock using a permanent marker. A lasting memory with a personal touch...

Recycled Book Keepsake Box

Hide your personal items inside your favorite book. Just glue the edges of the book and cut a rectangle inside the pages, about 1 inch from the outside edge. A great keepsake and memory of you favorite book.

Perfect Graduation Gift

Here's a way to save money and create a valuable gift! If you know someone who is expected to graduate in a few years and you're hoping to surprise them with a useful gift, set aside $20 (or any amount) every month and put it in a photo album. Once your done, you can add some pictures and hand the gift to your graduate to help them get started!

Long Distance Gift

Turn a special ticket stub, boarding pass or concert ticket into a keepsake item for a loved one.

A pin on Pinterest says all you have to do is take a ticket stub to your local print store and have them blow it up, print it on a fabric transfer and make it into a pillow.

Skip The Chalkboard Paint...

If you don't want to get messy with painting a chalkboard wall - try chalkboard vinyl which is a simple "peel and stick process."
