Although I have to admit I have re-gifted some items in my time (I hope not to the same people who gave them to me), I have never given away anything that anyone made, whether I could use it or not. I always think of the time and effort and care that have gone into a present like that.Sally Wendkos Oldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987139235542898094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197705946613221648.post-17620685267988296372008-12-27T14:03:00.000-08:002008-12-27T14:03:00.000-08:00It's difficult to put the toothpaste back in the t...It's difficult to put the toothpaste back in the tube, and it's difficult to go back to simpler, less-commercial celebrations. Still, I think it's worth trying. We scaled back our spending this year and had one of our best holidays ever. Right now I'm really busy being a caregiver to my dad, but when I have more time, I want to resurrect the idea of homemade gifts. I'm not a great artist, but I can put together a scrapbook and do some simple crafts. I know I treasure the things that people have made for me for than anything store-bought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197705946613221648.post-85504340133718578202008-12-03T04:31:00.000-08:002008-12-03T04:31:00.000-08:00Thanks, Susan, for your good words -- I look forwa...Thanks, Susan, for your good words -- I look forward to your visits!
