I know you’re all wondering about the gift giving/receiving outcome from this past holiday season. I must say, I am so so pleased! Gifts were given of course, but the spirit was beautiful. Not as stressful as I’d first anticipated. I hardly hit the mall, forced myself to look for sales, and for the first time really feel good about the money spent for my family and friends.
One of the best gifts was largely a gift of time… My dad and I redecorated the upstairs bathroom for my mom… We couldn’t start painting until around 11pm on Christmas Eve since we waited for her to go to sleep. Definitely worth it to see her excitement.
The handmade challenge went well. Sungee and Melody ended up with handmade gifts, and I received one from Lyd… the only person who turned the challenge around on me and MADE me something! A wonderful wooden jewelry box that I most desperately needed… thanks lady!
Sungee’s gift was this:
It’s true that for the most part I try to stay away from Leathers and Furs, but exceptions can be made... especially for a beautiful leather hand crafted initial cuff from this incredible artist from LA. Please check out her stuff… truly gifted and what an amazing spirit! Working with Sunny was a treat and the end result was amazing… It’s a little large so we’re sending it back to be sized but all in all I’m very pleased.
Can’t share Mel’s gift yet cuz I forgot to take it to her this past weekend when I visited. I’ll show pics later.
