The Year of Using What We Have. Part 2

In my quest to live within our means for the next year. Hopefully sparking ingenuity and create more family memories that don't involve shopping I offer my second promise: Gifting will be restricted to things I can make, upcycle, repurpose, or regift.

*If you are someone who will be getting a gift from me this year: You should know that just because I didn't go to a store to get your gift doesn't mean I love you any less. In fact, you should take it as a sign of affection that I have put thought, time, and love into these things.  This should also beef up my skills as a crafter which could turn into bringing a profit in the future.

Things I have really enjoyed making:

Bow and Barrette Holders
and Bows for that matter!

 Wreaths
