{ click, print, give... }

I was feeling discouraged earlier this week by the fact that I hadn't made as many gifts as I had planned to this holiday season.  Then, I did a little online window shopping and discovered that there is still time to add a handmade, personalized touch to the holidays thanks to digital downloads that can be printed at home AND some fabulous--and simple--DIY tutorials.

Here is a roundup of my favorite click, print, and give ideas...

Forgot to tell you: when you get your new cameras, take your lenses with you and make sure they operate fine and fit the (new) DSLR.
