Adrienn...Thanks for such nice comments, everybody!<br /><br />Adrienne--this year I am also giving fabric buckets which I have been working on for quite a few months, postcards of my photos in fabric envelopes, some potholders, and I will make peppermint bark or other sweet treat to package up in little boxes closer to the holiday. Also we are giving sunflower seeds harvested from our garden (for planting in the springtime). Thanks for your question!Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147791473133449106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-36557191239930057092009-11-12T10:07:04.051-08:002009-11-12T10:07:04.051-08:00I am in awe!I am in awe!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748454816480995214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-20895784816090671632009-11-12T03:46:12.613-08:002009-11-12T03:46:12.613-08:00What kind of other homemade gifts to you give?

Like you, I too want to have a more family focused C'mas :) After the scarves are done, there are candles, gift wrapping paper, gift tags and even C'mas cards to be done! This year Im aiming to give at least one handmade gift to everyone on our gift list. And I've been inspired to do all this after reading your C'mas posts last year :) Thank you for sharing Mary Beth!
