special gifts for special people on a shoestring budget OT

for relatives who live far away I always get doubles of any pics I get

developed all year long and then get little photo albums at a dollar

store and make little photo albums of my kids from all year long.

I also sit down with the home videos I made all year of the kids at

special events, pageants etc and copy special parts of the home videos

onto new videotapes and then have the kids sing a Christmas song in

front of our decorated Christmas tree and send those duplicate home

videos to people far away. A nice gift to hjhelp the far away relatives

watch the kids grow....and while it does take some time, it costs so

little, blank videotapes can be got for cheap at dollar stores.
