Confession #3: I love giving gifts.
Gift giving definitely isn't a bad thing... and it's something I truly gain great joy from doing. But being on a tight budget definitely changes things a little.
It doesn't change the fact that I still love to give gifts. But it does change what and how much I give.
While I love to shop for my friends and family... picking out things that remind me of them or things I know they will love... I've learned that it's not always about what I give, but rather how they are thought of. This can mean... a handwritten note instead of a cute handbag... a favorite photo instead of an expensive picture frame... a handmade birthday card instead of a store bought one...
You know what they say... it's the thought that counts. So, so true. I mean, essentially that's what a gift is... a thought. Letting someone know you're thinking of them one way or another.
Little by little... changing how I give.

Wow, you have lots of changes going on...you picked a good topic for this month's blog! Here's to you, Lance and Change!
I also really enjoy giving a fun mix cd. So much thought goes into that and it really doesn't cost too much to execute :)
