More Christmas Projects

Here are a few more of the projects I worked on for Christmas.  I made stacks of rice bags.  For those of you that don't know these are flannel bags filled with rice.  You heat them in the microwave for a few minutes and put it on what ever ails you.  I have used them for migraines, sore backs, neck, knees and to ease the pain of a tooth ache.  Payten loves them on her tummy when she is sick...she will say, "I want my hot!"  We only heat it for 30 seconds for her tender skin.

Then I made stacks of hot pads!  These are made from old jeans.  I usually cut rubber inter-tubing from the inside of old tires for the centers but I found these nice silicone hot pads at the dollar store and put those in the center.  They were already cut, clean and cheap!  These are my favorite hot pads---no burns!

I made each of the girls refrigerator magnets to match each of their kitchen themes.  These were Charlee's her entire house is decorated so cute in a western theme.

All of these crafts were simple, economical and fun to make.  I have some more involved projects to post but I need to get over to Charlee's house and take a picture.
