• For Christmas this year I want to make a cookbook.  I am new to my boyfriend's family so I won't have everybody's recipes.  Instead, I'm going to do recipes that he and I love.  He is known for being a great cook and I'm pretty good, too.  I'm even going to include a recipe that the baby likes and one for the cat!

  I am really broke this year and I can only really afford to buy presents for my kid so I'm really glad I thought of this.  My only expense will be binders to put the recipes in from the dollar store.  I'm going make the pages on the computer with the recipe and a picture.  Then I'll just print them out, glue them to construction paper, and hole punch them.  Each family member will get a binder of our favorite recipes and I think they'll really like them.  I'll try to post pictures when they're done!

• One way to do a kid's handprint is to get Crayola Model Magic. It's a lightweight kind of foamy air-drying modeling compound that dries overnight or so. Press it into the bottom of a plate of the size you want the final to be (I used a disposable plastic dessert plate--depends on the size of the kid). Make it about 1/4 inch thick. Press your child's hand in the center, and lift. Let dry overnight (or, better yet, a few days). I then hot glued the finished disk onto a larger plate, writing "Happy Father's Day" and the year around the edge (since these were for Father's Day).

  I'm thinking this year for the holidays of doing something similar, but have one handprint (the toddler) inside the other (the 10 year old).
