Homemade gifts are special. But how do you come up with homemade gifts they’ll actually LOVE? I’m sharing gifts we’ve made over the years that were very well received. Come see!

I made a fall tablescape using natural materials typically found on the ground or in trees & bushes this time of year. The eco-warrior in me loves that this is all natural yet so beautiful.
No reason to buy something plastic or disposable to celebrate such a beautiful season. It was super easy to do, eco friendly, cost nothing and looks great. Come see what I did.

I was looking to find repurpose ideas for RancherMan’s worn jeans. I know, maybe I can make cute no-sew denim coasters from the pockets. I love the rustic western feel of using them…

Here’s a cute Christmas gift idea. A snowman treat jar. It comes together in minutes using repurposed materials. I filled an oversized peanut butter jar with inexpensive homemade sweet trail mix. Paint on black buttons, tie on a scarf and you’re done!

Wax-dipped pinecone fire starters make starting a fire easy. They look pretty in a basket and make great gifts too. These are for our own use, but they make wonderful, inexpensive and very functional gifts.

You need a cutting board so you buy one. But did you know it’s pretty simple (and very inexpensive) to make an all-natural oak cutting board yourself. We wanted to make small cheese boards to go with our homemade gifts. Come see how we did it.

RancherMan & I painted one of our 16-foot long gates in a Texas Flag pattern to show our Texas pride. I think the gate looks awesome.
Many were interested in how we did it – paint color choices, metal star size, etc. So today I’m happy to share how we did it.

I made a cross collage using arrowheads. It was placed in a shadowbox that was just an old (and ugly) repurposed key box. The frame was painted white and lightly sanded to distress the finish just a touch. I love the way it turned out!
