sometimes it feels like such a waste to spend money on toys for holden because they always only seem to hold his interest for a few days or so.  i don’t consider myself a very crafty person, but pinterest has inspired me and i have found myself in a crafting craze this christmas, wanting to make anything and everything i stumble upon that might inspire and invigorate my little one’s imagination.  above are a few handmade gifts that holden might be finding under the tree this year.
