ETSY GIFT GUIDE

I have mixed emotions about the holidays. I LOVE spending time with my family and friends, but I don't like how frantic everything gets and I really dislike the commercial aspect of it all. I say this and I am someone that relies on this time of year to make a living. I am torn between wanting people to buy my product and wanting people to not buy anything.

This is why I love making gifts for family and friends. This year I have been too busy to pull out my sewing machine and make quilts for everyone like I did a few years ago. This is where Etsy enters the picture. I am able to get handmade gifts for everyone at reasonable prices with very little effort on my part. I get to support my fellow artisans and refrain from giving money to large corporations. So here is a quick little gift guide etsy style:
