10. Crocethed belt for Princess and crocheted purse for Cutie Pie

11. PJ's for everyone

Hubby is making
12. Wooden marker holders for the three older kids. (you take a 2X4 and cut it in 2 foot lenghts, you get a drill bit the size of your marker lid and drill that many holes in the block, you sand and shellac it and put the markers in. When the kids take out a marker, the lid stays in place...so the markers are standing all the time too.)

13. A magnet board for Pooky. (A square piece of wood with 12 holes drilled halfway through the board. In each hole you place magnetic and non-magnetic items. You place a piece of plexiglass over top and screw it in. Then you screw a string on with a magnet attached...voila, a magnetic learning board!!)

    Handmade gifts are wonderful. Last year my b-i-l's girlfriend knitted me a beautiful scarf. I love it.

    My 13 are up and my blog technical difficulties are over! Hooray!

    I recently blogged about the homemade Christmas tradition in my family. I think this was pretty common in the 70's and then faded away a bit in the 90's. I am glad to read about so many families who are making each other gifts. When I look back at my childhood toys, the ones I saved where the homemade ones.
