I don't especially like it because I feel funny not giving a gift to everybody, but it is much easier on everyone's budgets. I am not sure yet if we are doing it again this year.

Sparks19, my sister-in-law has family pictures in two frames that her best friend made for her when the two families went on vacation together. Now their kids are either married, engaged or off to college but it is still fun to look at those framed photos from when the kids were younger I love the idea of having your daughter decorate the frames! I wonder if a craft store would have unfinished wood frames? Or maybe Ikea?
Yeah in my family we pretty much just buy for our parents and all the kids. the siblings don't buy for each other anymore. now we just buy for each others children but... there are a lot of children LOL.

I did a quick search online and found some unfinished wood frames but I'll check out michaels too since I have a 40% off coupon We also have a neat little store called "Lancaster Creative Reuse" and it's basically a drop off for all your left over craft items that you aren't going to use and then they sell them for pennies and they often have picture frames so I may be able to score one there for less than $1 lol I'll have to do some checking around. I can't believe I'm almost done christmas shopping lol
