This year I had decided that I would not make any gifts for the holidays, mostly because I remembered how ambitious my plans were last year, and how unambitious my actual follow-through was. I didn't really feel in the holiday spirit, and wasn't in the mood to make gifts. But, the last few days before Christmas arrived, I ended up getting the crafting bug and managed to squeeze in a few projects. I made many batches of my easy chocolate-peppermint fudge (great for teachers and co-workers). I also made a batch of rum truffles that were delicious, and rich, and some easy spritzer cookies. I made some block print greeting cards. I also helped Frankie sew some felt catnip-filled mice for our kitties. And at the very last minute, I sewed a hat for my mom out of an old sweater. The hat is not very well-sewn and was given as a "temporary" hat for her until I knit her a new hat.

I have another friend who prints her own Christmas cards, too. She sent me a link with instructions - I hope to try it some day! Are you just going to tease us with photos, or are you going to share your recipe for that easy peppermint fudge?
