Create Your Own Action
Christmas Gift Giving
My challenge is to make 50% or more of my Christmas gifts this year using existing supplies I have already purchased. This will reduce the craft room stash and number of items I store, give a personal hand-crafted item to a loved one, reduce carbon foot print by not driving to shop or creating a need for deliveries by shopping on-line, save money and reduce stress by engaging in an activity I love.
