Hi Vivian,

I too make ornaments for my cousins. Since I am the oldest grandchild, most of them refer to me as Aunt Linda. I started making things for them when I couldn't afford to buy. When I had enough money, I bought things, and they were all disappointed so I started back making things. Now, I make ornaments for their children. I give Christmas baskets to family and friends. I make cookie mixes, rice mixes, crochet dish cloths and hot pads...crocheted around a CD. When I retired, short on money once more, I started making caps and scarves. For years, I have had this disease that doesn't allow me to pass up a bargain, especially if it's yarn, so I will be able to make things like this for years to come just using my stash.

Linda
