When my children were very young we made and painted flour-dough gingerbread boy ornaments. I still have them and I treasure them...such a sweet reminder of that time when our family was young. I have a new tree this year and I want to craft some ornaments using family photographs. Has anyone else done this? I am looking for ideas. For my friend's gifts I am going to include altered spoons, each crafted to match the recipient's decor. I love Christmas, and some of my best memories are homemade ones.

My son is into all these crazy characters these days. The almost-13-year-old actually bought himself a Cookie Monster winter hat! So for Christmas I am making him a Nyan Cat scarf based on one I saw online, and also an Angry Birds hat. Also trying to come up with something really cool for my daughter, age 14 almost 15.
Speaking of Princess, every year she makes Christmas presents for the important folks in her life. And not just stuff you'd expect a kid to make either. Two years ago, she made all the men in her life a Knifty Knitter hat. Last year, they all got crocheted scarves to match. This year, my hubby will be receiving an "I" blanket made from blue and orange granny sqaures. Per his request, it will be 5' x 7'. He is 6' tall, and always has trouble getting blankets that will cover his feet. When she's done, I'll try to post photos on my blog so everyone can see them. I'd do it here, but Photobucket doesn't like me anymore.
Merry Christmas, All!

I've always tried to make as many Christmas gifts as possible - not only is money tight, but, I just feel handmade gifts mean so much more. I'm currently working on 3 embroidered book marks of my kids art-work, some more embroidery art to hang of the kids' handprints and names w/ the year, a doll w/ a wardrobe for my daughter, another doll wardrobe for my niece, a Kindle sleeve for my mother, and lots of mixes in jars.

Ann, your son sounds like my granddaughter. She's the same age and into all the weird stuff too. And my 10 year old GD is into crocheting but I can only get her to do the chain. She took home a whole skien of yarn the last time she was here. Wanted to do the whole thing in a chain. I am going to try to get her to make the crocheted garland lights someone posted in the sewing section. And I can't wait to see your Dds blanket she's making for her dad. Smart kid.
I just learned to knit hats. I have made 3 already, all the same pattern. Already bored with it. So I will learn to make the floppier hat next. I am also making earrings.
Y'all are all so creative and smart.
Kris
