Oh, I too had over 110 items that were made as gifts for friends and friends
of friends - it was a good year in spreading the joy of turning as well!

I am sure that most of you have been feverishly dropping hints like
Ralphie
from "A Christmas Story" (Red Rider BB Gun) on the various load of tools
you
are wishing for from Santa. Well, if you are like me, you spent the
last
waking hour of everyday in November checking the specs, prices and
source
for each of the desired toys you are hoping to get.


Here's my haul this season....

- 27 ornaments
- 50 toys of various types (woodturned and otherwise)
- 12 sets of 3 candle holders
- 10 necklaces, 15 bracelets
- several other things like small boxes, ring holders, puzzles, etc.

All for area womens shelters, hospitals, and family services
organizations.
It was a good year. Here's hoping for a better one next year.
