A rainbow of mini-albums:
Block ornaments with pictures of the kids (this was a good project to have Kaia help with):
Some simple thank-you notes for some of the Chinese speaking males in the family:
My personal favorite, a jewelry holder for my sister-in-law Anneke, who makes her own jewelry (jewelry pictured not included): (I found the idea to use a cutlery set as a necklace organizer here.)
This is the wedding present I made for Jordan and Brighton. For years I had wanted to do something with pictures of the "Jordan Ave" and Phelps Ave" signs that I found in our area, but I'm glad I waited because it all fell into place when Jordan got engaged to Brighton and when I received this amazing picture of them in their announcement.
Does anyone have any suggestions of things to send in a Christmas package to a missionary? I'd like to send one to my brother and I don't have any ideas yet.

I hope those people aren't reading this!
Where is your brother? In South America the cool gifts were always American food: packages of jello, packaged mashed potatoes, cake mix, cookies, peanut butter, chocolate bars etc. I will never forget that peanut butter and those carmel apple lollipops my sister sent me, they were so good! I don't even like those lollipops
Oh, yeah - I forgot to mention that everyone who received these gifts have already opened them so I didn't ruin any surprises with this post. =)
Great gifts! I love the jewelry holder!! Such a great idea. I usually make at least some Christmas gifts but this year I went homemade - just not mine :) I love etsy! I'm storing up ideas for next year so I can get my act together on gifts earlier . . . and gather up the desire to get started.
Thank you so much for posting. I have missed your blog. I will post shortly.
I love the jewelry holder. I have lots of jewelry that needs to be placed somewhere. Wink!
What fun ideas. I like the little mini albums.

I just sent a package to my good friend and I sent him a big stocking stuffed with all kinds of fun Christmas things.
About the Wedding, her dress is gorgeous. I can't believe Jorden is all grown up..lol.all the kids looked so cute in there outfits, and the baby in his, how sweet.
He looks just like Sienna to a T,super super cutie....
What great Christmas gift ideas, and I love the thing you made for Jorden...you are sooooo creative...how about some pointers.
You always do such great homemade gifts -- I love it! Thanks for posting the ideas. I LOVE the jewelry holder and am definitely going to copy you. I actually have my jewelry sitting inside a wooden silverware organizer sitting flat on my dresser. It's convenient, but not very cute. I have been inspired! I also like how you put the little bowls at the bottom for small pieces. Thanks, Maile!
If you get on the birthday list at K.K you can get a FREE 8x10 every birthday for both kids.
I laugh that I inspired you because that was the first pro picture of Brock since he was 2.lol. so I figured it was time to get it updated.
Hey, will you e-mail me your address,Sienna's address, and your mom and dad address...thank you so much..
