I make my own natural lavender-scented hand scrub using just 4 standard ingredients. It works wonderfully to scrub the dirt from my hands after a hard day of gardening while still being gentle on my hands. And it makes a perfect gift for a gardener as well.

Earlier I told you about this year’s experience gift to our grandchildren. We took them to a Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course called Urban Air.
This facility was a trampoline park as well. So there was lots of physical fun had by all the kids.
But since they came home with us to spend the night, we thought it would also be fun to take them to a rock-climbing experience the following day!

Several years ago our children requested no new toys for our grandkids. They already had mountains of toys, and Christmas always just sent it all over the edge. So RancherMan & I have been gifting our grandchildren ‘Experience Gifts‘ for Christmas instead.
One year we took them to a live production of ‘A Christmas Story’ at a theater in a nearby town. We’ve taken them to see a live production of ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ at a lovely refurbished 1940’s theater one year too. Often we’ll drive through a Christmas-Light display at the lake or stop at a restaurant for a bite to eat as well.
But they’re starting to get older, so this year we wanted something a little more physically challenging for them. So we hunted down a Warrior Ninja Obstacle Course/Trampoline park in a nearby town. It was all the rage on TV so we knew they’d love it.

You can make a cute Santa’s sleigh using inexpensive dollar-store candy. What a cute gift idea – our grandkids loved them!

We wanted to make a rustic, old-wood solar light feature. We used old, aged Bois D’Arc wood and old barbed wire. A metal elephant embellishment and decorative solar light on top finished this light feature piece. Perfect!
