Give it Away, Now

Some may know, some may not...i like being crafty. Sometimes my craftiness is really not all that awesome. And most the time it's pretty lame. I just think making gifts for someone else, means more than buying something from a store. Many times I feel like its not worth my time. I have crafted things for people, just for the fun of it. I have made them for birthdays, Christmas, etc. Its so much easier to personalize it for that person, but you can still buy something from a store that would be meaningful to them. I am torn.

I have felt let down many times by giving homemade presents. I don't expect people to gawk or to get all excited (then again maybe i do). I am not quite sure anymore how I feel about giving homemade presents. Are store bought presents or gift cards better? They can spend their money on something they really want, instead of something I made and feel like that have to display the ugly thing out of guilt.

I may just go the easy route this year and buy all my presents. Except my mom. A mom can appreciate all the love put into it.
