That's awesome that you're making so many gifts!! A huge savings and all the fun you have and love that goes into them. No price for that joy! And I also love your cat :D

I buy my grown boys one a large gift for their homes every year. something they would love to have ,but can do with out. Like a blue ray dvd player with surround sound speakers, or a new washer or dryer, Flat screen TV...whatever I am in the mood to buy...Figure its cheaper than me paying for daycare...LOL...also better than buying 500.00 dollars of little presents...little gifts add up quickly. I than try and make them a few things. In the past it was photo albums. But this year since I started to sew....wonder what next year will bring. Oh...and the hubby buys them each one book, he has done that since they were born.
