Default Re: Christmas is done, for under $100

FANTASTIC MFM!!! What time you took to truly think of what each person wanted or could use. Not many people do that anymore. Great job on your part!

I used to make homemade stuff as gifts too, but on a much smaller scale. My big thing was to bake goodies or make candy for everyone. I was "famous" (or was that infamous?) for my chocolate fudge and pies. I had one friend who accused me of buying the fudge to give out! Shoot, she should have known that I would have never spent almost $10 a pound for fudge when I could make 5 pounds for under $3 using REAL products, like fresh cream butter, cane sugar, and true vanilla!!!

People still ask me why I don't do that anymore. Hmmmmm, maybe I should give it a go this year? People LUV homemade gifts. I think it shows you really thought about the person and were willing to give of yourself and your time....which both are so precious.
