As always, these will be added to the big list.  I add them at the bottom of the relevant categories, if you’re looking for a simple way to scan for updates.

I won’t be adding them immediately, though, since it’s mid-afternoon and I have the house to myself for a few hours.  That happens approximately…well, it happened today.  So I’m going to get busy with my own gifts.  I finished two yesterday and two the day before that, which is good, because I am working on everything in bits and pieces depending on who is around and I was starting to feel like I was working like crazy but never crossing anything off my list.  Whew. To Do list got smaller and I felt better.
