For 2010 I decided to only give handmade to those who I knew did 'get it' - but also who would appreciate it because let's face it, alot of time and effort goes into handmade.<br /><br />Can't wait to see some of your handmade goodies<br /><br />Happy New Year :)Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747546284906518230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922562457401222074.post-49955573281396637462011-01-01T17:23:02.579+11:002011-01-01T17:23:02.579+11:00I think it's very sad that some people just do...I think it's very sad that some people just don't understand the value of handmade or "get it"! I love to give homemade.. it's so much more special!! I've had a few instances myself where they didn't "get it" so I'm a little more careful who I give my handmade gifts too these days :)<br /><br />Happy New Year Jo <br />Hope it's a wonderful crafty year :)lamina@do a bithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262455180696949074noreply@blogger.com
