December 15, 2014 at 12:48 amBrilliant! This will spare me hours of time searching, scanning, and falling in love with everything I see on Pinterest (only to become overwhelmed and do nothing at all, haha). So, thank you!! I love doing neighborly things that bring in that festive spirit of Christ into my home and heart. And all within a student budget! Nice. 🙂 Have a very Merry Christmas!

April 9, 2015 at 6:56 pmThanks for the ideas. I noticed that the new neighbors moved in next door yesterday. Giving them a gift would be a nice gesture to welcome them to the neighborhood. I’ve been coming up short on ideas for a gift that they might like, because I don’t really know them very well. These seem like great ideas that anyone would like. I really like the last picture of the mug in a crochet coffee mug cozy. That looks so cute and easy to make. I’m sure that the neighbors would like a mug filled with goodies that’s all wrapped up in a cozy.
