The gifts I love the most are the handmade gifts. I love the uniqueness of it all. It’s so nice to know that someone really put time and effort into the gift. It’s something you cherish instead of tossing in the closet.
We try as much as possible to go handmade for Christmas as well as any gift giving time. I always have the girls make cards for people and they seem to really enjoy that the card was made for them. Much better than spending $5.00 on a piece of paper with words written by someone else.
We have 2 great crafting books for you as a giveaway today! You can use them for inspiration in creating some lasting gifts that can even be passed down as family heirlooms.
50 Sensational Crochet Afghans & Throws by Bobbie Matela and Quilt Block Leftovers: Clever Uses for Spare Squares by Sarah Phillips.
And the prize goes to….

This year some of the things I am making for gifts are: tutus, sock monkeys and photo books. In the past I have made pj pants, blankets and dresses.
i’m going to make birthday, anniversary, thank-you and some other cards and bundle them up in a cute ribbon to give to family….i’ll also put a stamp on the envelopes so they are ready to go when the card is needed.
and i’ll also be doing photo books as well.

Thank you for the ideas. Although, this comment came in a bit late but I am sure the ideas still come in handy this year.
