I was originally going to buy something similar to this but realized last night that I can make it! Yayy!<br /><br />My youngest son loves to build. He will take pillows, random stuff, etc. and make forts, cars whatever.<br /><br />Anyway - I&#39;m making him a kit for building forts. It will have 2 sheets (I&#39;ll get scrap material to make these), some rope, some clips and anything else I can think up that will help him build.Veronicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-10970911581518092482009-09-23T16:31:09.553-07:002009-09-23T16:31:09.553-07:00hey<br />i tried to do this last year. but keen to give it a go again this year.<br />would be interested in any tips on gifts for fussy nephews and brothers who don&#39;t like home/handmade...<br />I was thinking like maybe a mixed CD for my brother but any other ideas??Mariellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17059288964529225707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-90590227565973978962009-09-23T14:23:02.681-07:002009-09-23T14:23:02.681-07:00Is this the most addictive list ever??

So far... no book but I keep asking her.<br /><br />I have flat out told her that I don&#39;t have any great desire for &#39;money&#39; in the sense that she needs to spend money on me. I would be happy with a recipe book or knit socks or whatever.Billiehttp://billieryder.spaces.live.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-24224710682396946972009-09-23T01:31:27.891-07:002009-09-23T01:31:27.891-07:00Afew I might add- <a href="http://www.instructables.com/" rel="nofollow">Instructables.com</a>, <a href="readymade.com" rel="nofollow"> Ready Made</a>, <a href="http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/tool/craftfinder_tlp/" rel="nofollow">Arts and Crafts finder</a> and <a href="http://familycrafts.about.com/" rel="nofollow">About.com Family Crafts</a>, or <a href="http://www.itchmo.com/how-to-make-a-dog-sweater-from-a-sock-2843" rel="nofollow">make your dog a sweater from a sock</a>Robj98168http://www.blogger.com/profile/12449968557883132353noreply@blogger.com
