Handcrafted Holidays! When my husband and I were first married, we were poor. We both came from large families and didn't have any extra money to spend on Christmas presents. We still wanted to give to our families and loved ones, but had to find creative and cost effective ways of gift giving. This began our tradition of the Handcrafted Holidays. We've done extensive treasure boxes made entirely of free scrap wood...to simple painted rocks and ornaments. It's been going 13 years in the making, and I dare say that family members anticipate what we'll come up with for the next year. Now, even though we could afford more in our budget, we still opt for homemade gifts for the holidays. Whether you draw family names, give to everyone in the family, pass out gifts to neighbors and friends, or secretly deliver gifts as a surprise to those in need, handcrafted gifts can be the highlight of the season!
