Homemade Christmas 2009

Yes, it's not even Christmas 2008, but if 2009 is to be a homemade Christmas, we better start early. The Van Maanen women decided to do all handmade gifts for each other next year. The guys will still buy gifts for each other but will up the limit to $30 (easier to buy the board games that they love). But us ladies are going to take a challenge that we've never done before. Cindy, the guys' cousin, took the Handmade Christmas Challenge this year and we are going to try for next year. We need a little more time to work on gifts...so I guess it's time to get started!

Remember, no gifts for the kids because Grandma and Grandpa buy them enough toys. And the ladies will be sending in bios of their likes and dislikes so our Handmade Christmas will be enjoyed by all. Already thinking of some great ideas!!
