Happy Day 3 of DIY gifts! Today’s gift could not be any easier to make and will most likely be something they will receive from anyone else. Pure vanilla is pretty expensive…especially when you double the vanilla in pretty much every recipe like I do. Making your own vanilla isn’t a whole lot cheaper, but it does taste a lot better! The other perk is it takes very little work to make, but on the downside, it does require a… Read more »
