When I was still working outside the home, and getting paid
every two weeks, I would have immediately done the math and realized that meant
I only had two (or three, depending on the pay day structure) pay days until
Christmas.
As a Crafter, it makes my fingers itch.
That’s not nearly
long enough to make all the things I want to make for those I want to
give something to. Even the small, token items, or what we might call
stocking-stuffers, still take time and effort, if we are making them by hand.
Yep, it makes my fingers itch, and even though I am not a
headache-person, it makes me think I should be getting a headache at this time
just thinking about it.
But to be truthful, I sort of love the excitement of the
challenge every year. It has to be fun and loving or else it would not matter
and I would not do it.
Some of my reasons for making things by hand for holiday
gift-giving are financial. There is always the fact, as well, that I just love
crafting and always loved making things for gifts. I’ve loved doing that ever
since I was a little girl.
Part of the fun, also, is in choosing what to make for each
individual.
And, some of the joy comes from the friends and loved ones
who truly do enjoy what I give them, no matter how small or inexpensive, simply
because I did take the time to do it.
