Sorry I'm posting a little tardy today - I'm in the middle of a FABULOUS paint job in my kitchen (it looks AMAZING) and haven't been near the computer to blog....but enough of that because I am here now! (I don't hear cheering....trying not to take that personally.... sob)
So, YES, I'm currently up to my eyeballs in paint and NOT so crafty at the moment, but with Valentine's coming up and my head on gifting - even though my hubs and I don't really recognize or care about Valentine's Day (I'm having a hard time shifting back into 'celebrating' it for my four-year-old! Whoops!) - I thought I'd show you some of my favourite ever gifts that will perhaps give you some ideas, if not for Valentine's Day then for some other special event in the future!!
I LOVE to give framed scrapbook pages.
What says "I love you" better than a personalized, handmade, BEAUTIFUL gift that the receiver can personalize even more by adding their favourite photo(s) than a gorgeously papercrafted piece of artwork for her home??
Here are a few I've done over the years:
 |
| This one was for my cousin's baby shower. She was expecting wee baby Emma to debut shortly thereafter! |
 |
| A friend at church had a darling little girl after starting their family with two boys! Don't you just love the name: Shorleigh? |
 |
| A wedding present for a girlfriend. I LOVE this one. It was so simple but came out so wonderfully (in my very biased opinion) |
 |
| This is a horrid photo, sorry, but I made this one for my parents for Christmas a year or so ago. I LOVE this one in the large frame. It's hanging in their family room. :-) |
 |
| Aaaand....this one wasn't a gift. This is on the wall in my living room. hahaha But I LOVE it...which is why it's on the wall. |
So next event you have, try thinking INSIDE the box (I know, that was pretty bad. I couldn't help myself!) and prepare for some serious WOW.
I'll finish painting my kitchen and then get back into crafty stuff. Promise! Cheers for now!
Haha! Thinking "inside the box"! I love it!!
