What are you making for Christmas gifts?

[Muskrat]

Back when I was young most of mygifts were handmade. This year Don is making jerky, I will make cookies and nut bread. I also am going to copy and frame some very old photos which have not been seen by the recipients. There is one of my great grandmother’s first airplane flight..
What are you doing?

I also am going to copy and frame some very old photos which have not been seen by the recipients.

I think the photos they haven't seen are a great idea. I did that years ago. I didn't frame them, but I made 2 albums for my cousins, which included photos and copies of special letters their mother had written me in past years which they had never seen. [The letters did not contain anything the mother wouldn't have wanted them to see, of course.] It was a lot of work, but they were good surprises.

Although I won't be making any gifts this year, it's good to see you're doing that.

I made cranberry/orange jelly. People seem to like it.

The last home made gifts I did was 2 years ago. I made 2-D Needle Felted face portraits of my
families dogs. They all have 2 or more dogs. The problem is when you begin to collect those
your home begins to look like a taxidermy. So I stopped before I was begged to cease and desist.

I'm making cinnamon almonds for friends.
I made these for family from old Christmas cards. . I chose carefully of how I thought each reflected the person.

My daughter and SIL have girls and a little boy the ages of the sleigh picture. In this day it would be them on the golfcart.

I think I will also do recipes. I have some from my great grandmother…that would make them from the recipient's great great great grandmother.

I try to sign my name  neatly on the checks....that's about as creative as I get.

Well, I Do have an astronaut tree ornament that I'm going to decoupage my 6-year-old granddaughter's face onto. She's planning on becoming an astronaut.

NASA has a flight next month that's going around the moon and back and you can have your name sent along. I added all the kids' names and printed up the "boarding passes" NASA provides. I thought they might get a kick out of that.
