I don't remember the brands offhand. (I'm at work right now.) Will post them later. I think I paid between $3 and $8 a skein depending on the size and weight.
I'm trying my hand at making soaps and bath bombs this year. I can get what I need online, so no having to actually go into a store that's more than an hour away! And I'm thinking about pancakes in jar type of thing. I'm still coming up with some ideas.
I love making dream catchers! My cousin (citygal) came over asking for help on her Native American project. She had to make a dream catcher, so we made one easily. If you get a link, it will turn out beautiful. All you need is a wooden hoop and some string.
I have a great french bread recipe. A lot of family members will be getting a basket with a little loaf of artisan bread, a jar of homemade jam, and some cookies.
See, if I had some dairy animals, I could add butter to that basket and it'd be perrrrfect.
