I made chocolate cross lollipops. Sooooo easy. You just need to get a plastic mold, melt down some chocolate and pour it into the mold and freeze. Viola!

I made votive candles for both kids christenings. I got the glass holders and candles at AC Moore on sale, so it was less than $0.50 for each favor for those, then I made labels on 2" x 4" labels that had a picture of her and said "God Bless Sarah Anne on her Christening Day June 5, 2005" and then I wrapped them in clear cellophane and put a favor bow from AC Moore on them. It's like a rubber band with a ribbon on it.

The hardest part was setting up the labels, and then the most time consuming part was putting the labels on and wrapping them. My mom and I made 30 in like 1 hour or so.

Not the greatest pics but you get the idea:

AC MOORE has a clear plastic 5 x 7 magnetic pic frame that my sister put pic of the twins in and we covered it in cellophane and everyone loved them. I actually did trhe same thing for DS's 1st bday. They are usually $1.00 each but they're on sale all the time for .50.

We did Hershey Kisses with a poem attached. I could find it interested.

I had a picture taken of Zoey at Target. 8 wallets for $3 with a coupon. Then I got 2.5 x 3.5 acrylic magnet frames at AC Moore...$1.19 but I printed out a 25% Off your total purchase on my computer making them 89 cents each. We chose these instead of regular frames because i thought people would be more likely to put the pic on the fridge than in their living room. $1.26 plus the cost of wrapping...probably just cello bags with ribbon...25 for 2.49 at party city.
