Hello everyone: I just joined this community. I believe it's a terrific idea to have a place where to go to ask help for cheap hand-made gifts. I don't have money enough to buy what my dear-ones wish to own, but I have lot of love and good disposition to give them something nice and sweet.
I wanted to ask your help, though, because what I lack is ideas... :S I don't know what to make to them!

Who is the gift for? My parents, aunt and uncle, and two little cousins. Also I was wondering if you could recomend me of something nice to make for both my grandmothers.

What is the occasion? Christmas!

List at least three of their interests:

My Mother likes Mexican Soap Operas, especially one she's watching now called "Sortilegio" and an old one called "Corazón Salvaje", also likes romantic novels, and cakes (but she's on a diet so I'm not so sure about giving her sugar).

My Father loves technology! And Sci-Fi. He's a huge fan of Stark-Treck and Stargate.

My Aunt is a candle lover, she likes ornements most of all, she's also a fan of Mexican Soap Operas, and as my mom, she's currently very into "Sortilegio".

My Uncle is a soccer fan. A very sporty guy that stop training a few years ago, but still enjoys to watch the games. He runs and owns a Soccer School for kids.

My Cousins:

One is Joel, who's nine years old. He's a huge Soccer fan too, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, also like to play with his Wii and this Nintendo DS.

The other one is Adriana, who's 11. She's like a little princess, always making her hair and dressing pretty and all. She's a normal teen, loves HSM, and other lot of Teenagers TV Shows.

Any stipulations or things to avoid (i.e., has to be something small, or they already have enough scarves, etc.): Well, with my mother I must avoid anything that has too much sugar. So, I believe food is not a good option. Nothing else, I believe.

What kind of crafting do you do? I can draw. I'm pretty good at it. Making poster, or small drawings. I can kind of sew by hand a little bit. Nothing to fancy. But I'll do anything you recomend me that's not to expensive, and that's not so difficult to learn, since I don't have a lot of time.

Name some other crafts that you would be willing to try: ANYTHING that's not to hard to learn, since I have little time :(

Do you have a price range for materials? Well this is hard. I'm not american, but I can't afford a lot of money. The cheapest the best!

Do you have a time limit to make this present? Christmas Eve! :O

Any other information you'd like to include: This is a relative sad Christmas because my country situation has only gotten worst than ever. All of my family seem to be celebrating only because we're supposed to, but nobody's trully enjoying Christmas, and I'd love to bring a little bit to spirit to our home. I'd be incredibly thankful to anyone who would help me to make my gift. Also, I wanted to apologize for my horrible English! :( I swear I understeand a lot better than how I write.

More photoshop goodies to share! :-)
