Instead of buying a lot of new things, I'm using what we have and making things by hand.

Because of my surgery it forced me to take things much much slower this Holiday and I am starting to think that is ok : ) My decorations are much simplier, I can not do all I normally do when I cant stand. I have been making some gifts, ordering a few online, and telling family that it is just going to be a much simplier time this year. And I am counting my blessings that I am healing and after a very rough year with our Son, that he is doing better. Sending you a big hug.<BR/>KathyKatCollectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815463338199665380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107214640468165693.post-25447087865765029712008-12-03T10:25:00.000-08:002008-12-03T10:25:00.000-08:00Heidi, wonderful idea!
