Article: Handmade Christmas: fun for the whole family.: Little Gourds

Handmade Christmas: fun for the whole family. By Lance Gardner on November 16, 2011 Thanksgiving is coming with Christmas right around the corner. I always appreciate hand-made gifts and my son and I have fun making something different to give as holiday presents every year. One of the benefits of hand-made items is that it does not matter what culture or holiday you celebrate, they are almost always appreciated as the thoughtful gift they are. Start planning now so there is plenty of time to have fun with your project and not feel rushed. » Read the article

What a great project! When my family was young we made new craft ornaments every year. The kids all pitched in and had a great time. Their favorites were pine cone people and animals, stick reindeer and paper snowflakes,chains and origami bells. I wish I had a digital camera back then!

Thank you both for reading and sharing your own experiences. One of my goals over the past month and a half is to keep Skye feeling overall happy and secure with some semblance of a regular schedule, lots of opportunities for playing with his friends and of course family time. It seems to be working as he is doing well. Brenda, maybe you can make some of these crafts again and post some photos for us. There is a separate forum for holiday crafts. The origami bells sound (pun?) interesting with lots of potential for color and variation. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
