You'd better watch out...

...better grow hair (never could remember the words to that song)

Well it's nearly that time of year for the believers...Christmas

I thought I would just give you frugal people some handy tips on what you can make for the various boys and girls in your life.

You can find these around my blog.

Let your imagination flow. Kids (big and little) love to get hand crafted things for those special occasions.

How about a racing car, balloon boat or a dragster, here?

Howsabout some puzzles. Great with a photo on it

Scarecrow and a gonk, anyone?
She really is sooo much better looking than that

Great use of scrap wood from the project-in-waiting box

Sorry, I don't knit or sew very well but I have had many nice hand made things given as gifts over the years.

Find your own talent. Go on, amaze yourself (and your loved ones)

Each year at the in-law convention (we catch up with Scarecrow's side of the family) we bring gifts of a bowl or a basket containing a variety of biscuits, cakes and other home made goodies.

They are a great hit.

It's almost as if people have forgotten how to do things any more.

Sad really.
