Homemade Christmas Gifts

I am a total fan of homemade gifts.  Not only are they cheaper than purchasing gifts, they're fun to make!  My mom has a sugary sweet almond recipe that I've wanted to get my hands on for some time now, and I finally did!

It didn't take long to cook the almonds and sprinkling them (generously, might I add) with sugar.  Once that was done, they were ready to be packed!  And after cutting, filling and tying them with ribbon, the Christmas gifts for my girl friends are done!

If only finding a Christmas gift for my husband, in-laws and family were that simple.  There are still 10 days left until Christmas so I've gotta get cracking!
