Have a Handmade Holiday

Every year I find that not only is this one of my favorite time of the year, but it can always be so stressful!
Gift buying...
I love buying gifts for everyone - but sometimes my wallet (or should I say my Husband's wallet) doesn't!
I get myself worked up trying to find the perfect gift for everyone, and tend to loose sight of
what the Holidays are really about!
It's being with Family & Friends, and loving everything about that moment!
So this year I decided to take a different approach to gifts.
I am going to make everyone's gifts!!
I will probably run myself just as crazy making everything, but I feel like it will make the gifts have that much more meaning to them.
I rounded up a list of gifts I plan on making for those that are on my 
"Nice List" 
(HAHA I have seen how to make coal, so you better watch out!)

  5. I would make gifts too if I could make nice things! There are so many handmade items on my own wish list! And, you're right, of course. The holidays are about being extra thankful and spending extra time with loved ones. -Jessica L
