Making Christmas Gifts!!!

Finances are tough this year at my house, like it probably is with most of us with the economy. So I have decided to make some of my gifts. Here are a few pictures. I enjoy making Christmas gifts. I made my Grandmothers gifts for Christmas when I was a little girl, because I didn't have money to buy them things. I remember one year in 7th. grade making my one Grandmother a set of pillows in home ec. class.
  She must have really liked them, because she would only put them on her sofa on Sundays and then she would put them back in a plastic bag and store them until the following Sun.

    I think finances are tight for many of us, but I tell you, I'd rather receive something hand made than store bought anytime! Whoever will be receiving the things you have created, I am sure they will love them! I love them all, but those bonnets are too cute!
    I am making some gifts too, maybe I should make a few things for myself too! LOL! I am going to make some sweet potato garland and dry some oranges though, looking foward to that. I have been told that it really makes the house smell wonderful.
    Have a good weekend, and God bless!

    Lecia, handmade gifts are the best! I haven't asked for it yet, my mom had knitted me a blanket, she finished it about 2 weeks before she pasted, it will be treasured!!! OLM
