It's not that I don't like and appreciate other gifts. It's just that with the handmade gifts I know how much time and effort has gone into making them and they, therefore, become more precious to me.
I love giving handmade gifts now as a matter of choice. However, when I was younger and times were tough the only way I could afford gifts was to make them.
I know that times are tough for a lot of people now and thought maybe I could help by creating a series of suggestions for handmade gifts for the holiday season from so many of the wonderful artists and crafters who have contributed FREE crafts projects, patterns, suggestions, and ideas to my "The Best FREE Craft Articles" blog.
So, between now and December 15th I'm going to post my "Ten Days of Handmade Gift Ideas For The Holidays" series. I hope you enjoy my series.
"Ten Days of Handmade Gift Ideas For The Holidays"
Day 10 -
Here's some great suggestions:What about knitting Rachael's Simple Knitted Ball for your grandchild or niece or nephew. How about sewing Cheryl Bosarge's Quilted Bookcover for a unique gift for your favorite book worm. You could also stitch Cheryl Bosarge's Repurposed Jeans Card Case or even stitch a couple of my Primitive Snowman Ornaments.
