Santa's Surprises

Although we don't "do Santa," we will be putting some surprises under the tree just before our family celebration. For Abram, well, I'll give you a few hints:

• something hand-made
• something from Freecycle (yes!)
• an activity (to go with Freecycled gift above)

You can submit guesses via the comments section if you would like.

For Owen, we just completed a play kitchen made from a $5 night stand found at Goodwill, painted with paint from the Habitat Re-Store, and complemented with an "antique" faucet, knobs, and a towel bar from there too as well as some hooks we had on hand and two burners made from CD labels. We also collected a variety of tools for the kitchen from Goodwill and the Salvation Army. All told, this cost us less than $25 in materials. I think he will really enjoy it.
