【解析】

试题分析：本文描述了作者自制圣诞礼物以及自己的感想。

【1】Honestly 考查副词。此处为固定搭配honestly speaking：老实说，故用honestly。

【2】a 考查冠词。根据句意，作为一个工匠，此处为单数，泛指，故答案为a。

【3】supposed 考查固定搭配。此处为be supposed to do:应该做……，故填supposed。

【4】 to 考查介词。此处为固定搭配，stick to：坚持。

【5】of 考查介词。此处为固定搭配，be short of：缺少……。故用of。

【6】have returned 考查时态。此处表示动作发生在过去对现在造成的影响，故用现在完成时，故填have returned。

【7】enthusiasm 考查名词。此处应填名词，故改写成enthusiasm。

【8】if/whether 考查连词。根据句意，此处表是否，又要用连接词，故用 if/whether。

【9】But 考查连词。根据句意，此处表转折关系，故用but。

【10】hoping 考查非谓语动词。此处用非谓语，everyone 是它的逻辑主语，二者是主动关系，故用hoping。
