Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Hello Friends,
It's Jacque the Elf here. I am doing lots of home-made gifts this year and I have put a lot of time into these projects so I thought I would share them to see if anyone else is needing a little something to put in someone's stocking. I hope you don't mind me using the Friend Blog to advertise.
The first is a Family Home Evening Kit. There are 12 ready-to-play games (that's one game per month). I made it for my sister by printing the games off, putting them in sheet protectors and then into a binder. There is only one game that has pieces to go along with it, the rest consist just of the game board and instructions. It's up to you if you want to prepare the binder for someone, or just give them the CD with the games ready to print.

I'm selling the CDs in a case for 5$ each. I've included some sample games below so you have an idea of what you are getting.


Book of Mormon Clue comes with pieces and another page to the board.


The next project is personalized. I've made a calendar template for 2010 that showcases your family pictures. These are great grandparent gifts! It's $3 and all you have to do is either email me or give me disk with about 20 of your pictures and I can just email them right to you. It's up to you what you do with them from there. Below are a few things I chose to do.



Here I took blocks and modged podged the photos. You can purchase the blocks for $2.
Here, I took a CD case and used it to make a stand. The case stores all the months not currently being used.

And of course there is the traditional desk calendar where you can bind into a flip chart calendar.

If you are interested in any of these, please let me know by emailing me at jor00002@yahoo.com.
Thanks

Looking for Pianos

I know this may be a stretch, however I thought I'd start here in asking if anyone knows of anyone who might be selling their piano. Anyone?? Just let me know. Thanks

Carpet Cleaner

Does anyone have a carpet cleaner that I could borrow?
