    Default OTWD: This week's topic-Homemade gifts

    With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought this week's topic could be homemade or inexpensive gift ideas.

    Here's a neat one I found.

    WONDERFUL Idea Sara, and so timely. HM gifts need a little lead time before the Christmas rush!

    I'm making a wedding sampler for my nephew and his bride to be. I was thinking of making it my avatar and changing it every week to show my progress. Do you think that would be interesting?
