3 [5] [6] Are you building projects for Christmas gifts this year? I'm such a fan of handmade wooden projects because they are custom, made with lots of heart, and are an earth-friendly alternative to importing plastic toys over thousands of miles, that aren't biodegradeable. Holidays are a busy time of year, it's impossible to do everything, but do consider committing to at least one handmade gift this year. And of course, we are here to help! Jaime from That's My Letter [7] and I put on a Christmas gift building series - Handbuilt Holidays [8] - each year in the weeks leading up to Christmas - Page 3 of 19
