Mutatio don't be bitter- be better! Keep making your gifts but for your kids. My dad was a carver and some of my most cherished things are the various carvings I have from him (loons and figurines, candle sticks and bowls- things like that). Theses are things our kids will remember you by and pass down for generations. What amazing gifts to give!!! Make them for your children and they will be cherished
