Makes Me Happy Monday: Homemade Gifts

At heart, I am a crafter. I love to create. And with that comes the ever ambitious goals of giving homemade gifts to my loved ones. I am happy to say that my children also have the same inclination. They love to make cards and pictures for me and other family members on a regular basis. As much as I enjoy giving homemade gifts, I really enjoy getting them as well!

I also love to make things for my kids. I've made each of them a baby blanket before they were born (I just finished Emma's not long ago which is way ahead of schedule considering she's not due to arrive for another 2 1/2 months) and I'm always looking for new things to share with them. We have regular craft days and more often than not, they end up giving their creations as gifts.

Do you do homemade gifts? What are some of your favorites?
