I LOVE giving (and receiving) gifts; no matter what they are. It is something I have always enjoyed. I hold my Mom responsible since she is the same. The only thing that is bad about it...I tend to over analyze and think too much...because I want it to be special!
My friend and downline, Xellina, had a crop at her house this past Saturday. (I LOVE being back around my scrappin' friends!) She offered a gift exchange and there will be few (if any) times that I would choose not to participate. I altered several things... I got the canister at Big Lots. I just used some Washi Tape to wrap around the rim and then adhered a retired silver flower. The chalkboard area was already provided, with a piece of chalk! I filled it with chocolate chip cookies. For the bag, I just took a silver bag, used a vinyl cut that was too big for another project and placed it on the bag. A couple of pieces of Washi Tape and Red Shimmer Trim and tada; a gift bag was born!
The photo of the frame just doesn't do it justice. I sure wish I had taken time to take a better photo of all of these creations. It was a frame I bought at Big Lots. I cut a photo opening in the matte, just like was done in the original frame, and decorated it up with Hopscotch, some fun stamp images and a little bling. It really came out nice!
It seems like the person who ended up with it was pleased so I was happy. I still have some other gifts to create before the holidays are over.
It's Hump Day!
