I wish I had something like this from my dad - but I'm honestly afraid that if you gave my father any silversmithing tools, he'd seriously injure himself. Generally not a very good gift. :) Great blog! xx I can see why these mean so much to you – you’re lucky to have such a great dad!

I get creative with the different kinds I make. This year I made a Church ABC book for one niece, a Christmas Card ABC book for another in-law family and a scrap-booky, family pictures book for another niece. So fun.

I did >almost< all handmade gifts this year--embroidered linen pillows. Definitely imperfect as it was my first time, but I've already given some to friends and they really appreciated them. I can't wait to give my sister her Hello Kitty one. It was fun to come up with the different designs and sayings and handmade is such a special speical touch it almost doesn't matter what it is, just that you thought to make it. Wow, those are lovely!

Even if my dad COULD make jewelry, I doubt he could do something that cute! I'm so impressed:) To answer your question, I made all of my nieces little hand made dolls, felt hair clips for the older nieces, and my nephew a Yoda "action figure" (because you can't call them dolls, of course) this year for Christmas. A couple of scarves for the sisters-in-law, and I made my sister one of your poopie clutches! I was actually so inspired by your handmade Christmas last year, that I decided to give it a go! It's so not as good as something you could have done, but I have to admit I surprised myself:) They turned out cute! And it was so rewarding! (not to mention cheap!) Thanks for being my inspiration, Melissa! You're amazing! Merry Christmas! Ok, your dad has amazing taste! Even if my dad COULD make jewelry, I doubt he could do something that cute!
