Jewelry first
Two are already claimed. The other two will go on Etsy soon. I'm working on some other custom jewelry too that should be done in a few days.
Now to the cookies, kaleidoscope pinwheels from the Betty Crocker Cooky Book - basically butter cookies dyed with high fashion artificial colors and coated in sugary sprinkles.
and now the crafts.
After hours of tv, cookies, and computer games, my son announced that he must make a felt craft. I pulled out wool felt and two felt craft books to give him ideas. He decided on the ipod case from Heartfelt.

He cut up the wool felt (recycled from outgrown pieces) and stitched them together. I sewed on the button because the daredevil didn't want to poke his finger with a sharper needle. He cut out the star, which we decided to glue onto the back. He says I can use it until he gets his own personal mp3 player.
Daughter decided to personalize her own clothing with some fabric markers (with my complete approval.)
She did a shirt for me too, but I think hers is better.
Kids do the best crafts when it's their own idea.
Those are awesome. I hope my kids get an idea to do a craft over the holidays.
