M family lives in Alaska. Things are super expensive there, especially heating fuel! Most everyone I know has a wood stove to help heat their house during the winter. I loved my furnace, but I depended on my wood stove and fireplace when I lived there too! Fire starters are huge sellers too! They sell them in varying kinds at almost every store in town! I always wanted to make some myself from all the crafty tutorials around the web. When we lived in Florida I started collecting the great big pine cones that were all over base, and dryer lint. I never had dryer lint when I had the pine cones, and I never had pine cones when I had the dryer lint. So, they never got made. When we were packing up to move my husband asked me about my shoebox full of lint... "yeah, ok, I know I'm never gonna make them so throw it out."
So then last week I decided that this year we were going to do homemade gifts for Christmas. I knew my sister would LOVE some fire starters!!!
Hmmmm.... I had egg cartons, and wax, but no dryer lint (because I have no dryer) and no sawdust....
Good thing she made her own! She did a great tutorial on her bog too! Check it out! So, now I need more ideas for Christmas gifts for the best sister ever!
Come on people - I need Ideas!!!!
