![]() Are any of you making presents for people this year? If so, what?
I'm putting together a CD of 100 tranquil mood tunes for my friend, who I'm sure will love it. She's really into Enigma, and this music is along the same lines. I'm going to make up the inserts and covers for it too. |

![]() I made personalised tree ornaments. Placing on each person's dinner plate at the family reunion and also including with Christmas cards sending or handing out (posted a thread on that this morning).
Kids used a Gem Styler (like a Bedazzler) to personalise free gift handbags that a local pharmacy thought were too ugly to give to customers. I think they did a brilliant job :o). USed a lovely huge jar (from greek olives bought at Lidl) and filled with some (about 60) yummy biccies I made with the kids. Wrapped in voile and tied with a ribbon. |

![]() I knitted hats for my sister and her kids ! And sewed a thing for holding brushes for my mom who started watercolour classes using an old pair of jeans and a bit of flowery material for the lining. I didn't use a pattern but it looks something like
