Did you buy handmade gifts this holiday?

As an artist, I took the buy handmade pledge this year with a happy and hopeful heart. I love the idea of supporting other artists in their ventures and am always appreciative of people purchasing my goodies. Many of my purchases were made on etsy, and others were made in local area shops. Here is one of the items I got from etsy for my niece!
