I'm reading Deborah Norville's book "Thank You Power" and she actually mentions that the real gift in doing selfless acts is in the act itself, not in the results. I think I'm getting that right! Anyway, it's wonderful that you enjoy the process and your recipients are very lucky indeed! You've inspired me to start a few holiday gift projects myself.

Doing the actual making is as much part of the enjoyment as the giving. I'm making things for both my Mum and Sister this year. I wish though that I could think of things to make for the men. I find my Dad and Brother-in-law so difficult to buy for. I'm trying very hard to think of ideas to make for them both. I love the look of the fabric you have for making the aprons.

One year I made my Dad a list of some of my fondest childhood memories and framed it. I think that was my best gift ever.
