I have to talk myself into believing it's okay to start out less than perfect. Oh, don't worry about me spilling the beans about your gifts! I won't tell a soul. ;) Great idea, though. Hand made gifts have so much more meaning. I know what you mean about feeling doomed to failure. I have to talk myself into believing it’s okay to start out less than perfect.

Though, they do say practice makes perfect, right? Oddly enough, I'm not worried about instant gratification! I don't need the rewards now, I just need to know that there is a reward coming down the road. Well, this year, instead of giving people crapola that they don't want or probably won't like, I'm crocheting everyone's Christmas gifts this year, just don't tell anyone cuz I don't want to let the cat out of the bag.
