I know I've mentioned how much I want to be as crafty as possible this year for Christmas...of course I've put that on the back burner once again.  But today I read this wonderful post on  Handmade Homeschool  (Link: http://handmadehomeschool.wordpress.com ) with a list of great ideas.  Some include links to a tutorial, some are just inspiration.  Not only is everything on that list something that I'm pretty sure I could do (with the exception of knitting and some sewing) it's full of things that even the least crafty can do.  I think when people hear "Handmade" they immediately think they need to knit a sweater.  Cookies are homemade!  Mixed CDs are homemade!  (I love both, by the way!  hint hint, wink wink) 

The post also has a list of links to other sites that have a wealth of inspiring ideas.   In other words:  NO EXCUSES!  Even if you start small, I bet you can at least make one handmade gift this year. 

Here is the link to the actual post: http://handmadehomeschool.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/handmade-holidays/#comments
(I still have no idea how to make my links look right on this site.  It's not the simple <a href= stuff)
