with the economy taking a dive, we could all use a little help in making our dollar go the extra mile. as i prepared to host an upcoming christmas party i wanted to give a little something cute and creative to my guests but i don't have a lot to spend. i am by no means a seamstress, but for a few days i became a sewing machine to create a variety of carrying cases for that spare change they've got lying around. by making them myself, i was able to save some extra dough to put into the baking!
