Christmas Gifts for Friends

I love, love, love handmade. Well you know that! Since I love to bake, grow, craft, and sew. Here are my handmade gifts for my friends.
 I learned how to make homemade marshmallows! And they're pretty easy. So far I've made lavender flavored (above) and chocolate.
I also made candy bars! These ideas came from the December issue of Country Living magazine, but you can find similar recipes (for marshmallows) and molds (for candy bars) all over the internet. My friends loved them!
For to us a child is born,
    to us a son is given,
    and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the greatness of his government and peace
    there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
    and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
    with justice and righteousness
    from that time on and forever.

 Isaiah 9:6-7

Love,
xoxo

  1. I've never even heard of homemade marshmallows - awesome! And your candy bars are great, too. I was just about to comment on your Hallelujah video you posted, when this post popped up, so I'll do both. Thanks - it was great to listen and watch.
