inspiration station

I'm a fan of handmade Christmas gifts. I've done my best to be the maker the past few years, this year I'm feeling a little stumped. I came upon Tip Junkie's "Mom Prenuer Shop-A-Thon" and glanced through a few of the shops... wow! There are some seriously talented people out there! I think it's great to support these women and if I can't make it, I can buy it from them- it's still handmade, just not by my hands!
So, you should stop by Tip Junkie and check out the shop-a-thon. Oh yeah, and they're doing a shop-a-thon giveaway for the next 12 days! Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to win a Christmas present!
In the years past I've made a box of cards, a Christmas quilt, photo frames, blankets, vases... I have some ideas bubblin' around in my little head, but I'm still trying to pull them together. What about you, are you a fan of having a handmade Christmas? What gifts have you made?

I LOVE handmade things! That said, I need to get my stuff on Etsy ASAP! We've made candles, blankets, soaps, jewelry.... But, the candles, blankets, soap was with the help of my uber creative mother. This year, everyone is gettin' jewelry, and that's the end of that :) I love that you made vases!! WOW!
