Whenever I give someone a handmade gift, I always deal with a little fear that the receiver will think I'm just cheap. Now, I don't want to sound conceited, but I am good at making things, and I even have a college degree in it. Of course, that doesn't mean much when someone opens a box from me and says, "Oh, great...you made this. What is it made out of, did you say trash? Gee...thanks, I feel so....special."
